I'm in the process of reducing a background image to it's smallest
possible size, I'll update the results, that is, hoping they are amazing ;-)

I agree about image quality. If it's a background it doesn't need to be
high quality. It's a background with presumably more important content on
top of it, most likely covering most of the image. That said I stand by my
previous comment.
For content images I'll say again that you should provide a sample
thumbnail with well labeled links to larger versions. Let the user choose
to download a large version.

First of all, you seem to have sidestepped the reason why a background
image needs to be high-res. Secondly, when I’ve received a requirement
akin to this in the past I have solved this with variable quality, so
that areas covered with other elements are of lesser quality
(typically only seen trough semi-transparent elements), than areas
that are uncovered. That’s not easy to do with a fluent design and
it’s a lot of work. Better be worth it.
The variable quality is a graphics issue.

I plan to make my site 4K/5K compatible, I was informed do not feed
users a 4K/5K image(s), taking that into consideration, what am I
suppose to do if the design requires a 4K/5K background image; cut it
up, the size of the combined slices may add equal to the file size of
a 4K / 5K image.
Am I thinking from a designer POV, not completely putting forward of
all possibilities with CSS ?
