[Clipart] [Bug 3347] PNG files not optimized

[Dan Gerhards]

An SVG file can stay the same size, and you can lose data anyway. A coordinate 
in the large file may be 3.4218, and in the small file, 0.0034. The same 
number of characters are used, so the file is the same size. However, 
precision is lost.
