Downloads also require energy, on the client, on the server, on the 
intermediate hops, and even for the actual information transmission in the 
cables. So I am not convinced that you are going to save any energy by 
making the image significantly larger just so that it is faster to 
decompress.

(As for the time factor, I already explained how that does not compute 
either, at least in large, less-privileged parts of the world.)
