Certain image formats are already compressed, such as gif and png. Jpeg files do not compress well under zlib, which is the compression library used in LVZ files. Also, with LVZ files, there is a couple of bytes overhead to store filenames and other information about the LVZ file itself.

To see how much space each section takes, run the LVZ through Debuildlevel.exe, which is contained in lvztoolkit.zip. It will output all the compression sizes and ratios of each section.

X-LvzToolkit will use the maximum compression level, but mgb is right too
