Should EasyOS be shipped as an uncompressed image file?

See discussion starting here:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=48520#p48520

The upcoming Easy 3.3 will be a 616MB download, compressed .img.gz file.

However, if I was to build it with a 4MB second partition, and not compress the file, the .img file will be 1 + 639 + 4 +1 equals 645MB. Those 1MB at start and end are padding.

Then there will be no need to uncompress the file, just one click to open it. But, I don't know if this is really such a big issue, might put it on the back burner. Reconsider sometime later.
