How well will it compress if every pixel in the image is used only once and is different?



Pretty well if it's a regular layout, depending on algorithm, since almost every successive pixel is different from the last by exactly one level in one channel.


Sounds like another fun bit of code golf if some of the more aggressive compression algorithms aren't already picking up on the bit level changes (I believe they do).



You can use the program that generated the image as a "decompresser". Only 100kb but takes 4 days!
