Nice to see the actual comparison of the binary size (and there is the 2x and 3x png). On the other hand, to be fair, the memory footprint will be more with the ASCII version (text + final NSImage loaded as bitmap in memory) compared to png (only the bitmap in memory, directly loaded from disk). The size of the bitmap is big anyway: there is no compression.
