So is this only good for ridiculously low target filesizes? Noone in their right mind is going to compress a "480x480 image to a file size of 2.3kB"

What I want to see is an acceptable looking JPG next to a WaveOne image of the same size. Or an acceptable looking WaveOne next to a JPG of the same size.

How small is good enough? How good is small enough?

The use of a small image is for illustrative purposes. Saying "this image is less bytes than that one" is less striking than "look at those two images: they have the same size, but one is ugly".
