Actually, I just tried to open mapserv64.png with gimp, and export it as a non-interlaced or interlaced PNG. And the non-interlaced version is 60 kB vs 96 kB for interlaced. So interlacing vs non-interlacing isn't the cause here.

Looking more closely at mapserv64.png  vs mapserv76.png , they are visually different. I suspect the rendering to be of higher quality in 7.6 due to anti-aliasing and perhaps better quantization to 8-bit. You could perhaps try to turn off antialiasing in your CLASS.STYLE. This has been re-vived very recently for AGG line rendering. It is master only however.

Even,

Thank you. I had ignored the difference in the interlacing of the two images because I didn't think it would have affected the size.

The maprgbapng.c file no longer exists in MapServer 6.4 or 7.6. There is an "if ( interlaced ..." code block in mapoutput.c that is the same in 6.4 and 7.6. I tried forcing it ON and rebuilding 7.6 but the output image still is not interlaced. Maybe that code is just a left over. Or maybe AGG doesn't support interlacing as https://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/outputformat.html <https://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/outputformat.html> seems to suggest.

In any case, thanks again.
Rich

    Richard,

    your 6.4 image is a interlaced PNG, whereas the 7.6 is a
    non-interlaced one.

    I see in the git history a relevant commit:

    But this predates 6.4 release by several years, so this doesn't
    explain why you see a different behavior, unless something in 6.4
    still turned on interlacing on in that configuration.

    From what I can see in the doc, the interlacing mode was removed
    in the 7.0 release when GD went off, so I don't think you can do
    much. I guess that could be re-added but would require some coding.

    I get significantly different image sizes between MapServer 6.4
    and 7.6 with the same output format definition. I've tried many
    variations of the following.

    OUTPUTFORMAT
      NAME "png-test"
      DRIVER "AGG/PNG"  # GD driver is same (6.4 only)
      MIMETYPE "image/png; mode=8bit"
      IMAGEMODE PC256
      FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=on"
      FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
      EXTENSION "png"
      # TRANSPARENT on or off makes little difference
    END

    MapServer 6.4 <https://greenwoodmap.com/mapserv64.png> is 90kB,
    MapServer 7.6 <https://greenwoodmap.com/mapserv76.png> is 320kB.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get my MapServer 7.6 image sizes
    down closer to what I'm getting in MapServer 6.4?

    Thanks,
    Rich
