-
It creates the smallest size of tiff files and supports multifarious compressions such as LZW, JPEG, PACKBITS, CCITT Group3, CCITT Group4, RLE etc.

-
With a lossless compression, such as LZW compressed TIFF, the change is far more dramatic, with an average reduction of 62% (though the LZW files are still significantly larger than the JPEG files).

LZW (an offshoot of LS encoding) is remarkably efficient.
-
With LZW compression, that entire correspondence would fit on a single blank 4.5 Gb DVD, costing about 25 cents.
-
The key point is that LZW encoding already gets probably 90-95% of the efficiency of your dictionary approach for most data.
