Not only disk size is a problem, but also speed, for example when you
want to display the maps at very low zoom levels.

Make tiles out of the file so just the corresponding tiles get loaded.

Maybe tiling is a solution when you want to get only a small part of the map at zoom level 1, but if you want to display the map at zoom level 1/256 you have to read 65536 tiles to display only one tile. I have compared GeoTiff (tiled) and ECW, and ECW is MUCH faster at low zoom levels.
