The compression really isn't that good. The animation has a relatively small
amount of movement and lots of smooth gradients, so each frame looks very
similar to the next, which makes it compress well (i.e. I can use low quality
compression and it still looks good). Plus it's very low res.

I use Tmpgenc: http://www.tmpgenc.com/
It's got a lot of settings that can be tweaked to refine the compression, though
IIRC this animation was made with mostly default settings, I just tweaked the
"rate control mode" & quality.
