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.
A solution I use daily on big datasets -> tiles+vrt+pyramids
Nobody is denying that a wavelet format supporting data streams is
better than a flat file in some cases, the point here is to know if an
old gdal version should still be used by every osgeo4w users when the
newer brings lots of features just because of ERDAS's politic.
