I'm not speaking with authority here, but back when the "GIF patent" was
still active, some Open Source GIF drivers didn't compress, as the
compression was the patented part of the format.
So that _may_ be the case here.
Nah, Unisys patented the format which essentially uses a 256 colour
palette for compression. LZW compression doesn't make much difference on
this file.
I *think* the problem is you are not creating the palette very
intelligently there are only 20 colours in the palette.
