Post png or base64 for speed rendering?

Greets,

There are too many options for image formats.

Recently I thought about base64 format to use for my images. My idea is for the ereader to reduce its decoding to the max in order to save battery.

The appeal of base64 is two-fold, first it's can be compressed in text format, secondly somehow text seems to take less cpu cycles to process.

The images are monochrome, not even in grey scale, so the content is ideal for good compression algorithm/format.

Has anyone experimented with base64 images on epubs?

Thanks.
