We produce just one image that has to serve all of those cases, i.e. the hardware we are targeting is "the average" of all Fedora users. (Producing more than one image with different compression settings was briefly discussed also, but it seems that the storage of multiple images is too "costly" to justify this.) That is why we talk about prioritization of goals: we need to pick something that handles all cases and the question is which characteristics matter most to users.
