I've run into this myself, and it seemed like the ColorModel class
assumes that you'll use either 1 byte or 1 int for each pixel. So it
seemed like the best you could do was switch to 8-bit indexed color, which
is at least a 4x improvement. If there is in fact a way to use a 1-bit
color model, I'd love to hear it!
