Please, let's explore it a bit more.
I think that PNG are better since:
- they properly supports alpha channel
- 16bits of colors
I've done a test here, using our internal theme for it.
Our artwork is done on 1024x768 image and here goes what we got:
,----
| 55K background-jpeg.jpg
| 38K background-inkscape.png
| 31K background-pngcrush.png
| 29K background-optipng.png
`----
I didn't find any regression. Maybe other files it differs.
