    the .bmp is 481078 bytes;
.jpg at 100% is 141264 bytes;
     at 80% it's 51653 bytes;
 at "0%", below, 10921 bytes.

Yeah, although your "0%" seems beyond optimum.  BTW, the .bmp was more than 600k
due to encoding.  

To make it complete, reduced to 4 colors and saved as png i achieved 8348 bytes
and it looks much better than your jpg...

Ooo, a sparkly. (another movie quote;)

Is this using glows? (haven't tried 'em yet - I'm partly waiting for the
dust to settle before downloading mp6).

Yeah, that kind of image is probably best as a GIF or PNG. Solid colors 
don't often work well in JPEG.

But either GIF or PNG ought to be many times better than BMP.

I used the same macro (sans glow and with an upped object count) inside of a
union statement, then rotated the entire thing as a motion_blur.  Instead of
varying the colors, though, I used a dark gray sphere throughout.
