Yeah, PNG is overly complex, slow to encode/decode, and despite all that, it atill doesn't compress the picture very well

I think i heard that one of the creators of the format said he didn't have any experience with compression, and they more or less just threw things at the wall to see what stuck

If you want the mediocre compression level of PNG, but waaaay faster, i can recommend QOI
