We've currently got a real problem when It may seem counter-intuitive, but I think that image file growth may peak in the next few years. The reason for this theory is that CPUs continually grow faster while image pixel counts increase but disk I/O performance has not increased so spectacularly. So the obvious solution is to apply compression. Compression is becoming "cheaper" CPU-wise as the years go by. It will be faster and more efficient to use a compressed file than an uncompressed file.
