6400 x 4800 pixels (30 Mpix image)  x  3 bytes (24 bit image)  =  92160000 bytes
which corresponds to the 87.9 MB you have (the BMP header adds a few more bytes).

	I'd suggest you save your images using a lossless compression format
such as PNG or TIFF.  Just use the POV-Ray +FN flag (for PNG) while rendering,
or convert the BMP to e.g. PNG using your favorite image editor.
