Would that be something Fireworks spat out? It's compression algorithms aren't the best... export it with something like GIMP, and you'll likely not have an image of 259 MB to start with (and I've not noticed any loss of quality - there is often alot of redundant data that can be removed (like more colours than you're using; and blank frames in the middle of an animation)...

Ross, the image quality won't be downed by RARing. Archive formats are, as a rule, lossless.
