If I remember rightly if you are able to save the image with a
transparent background it keeps the file size lower because a
transparent pixel takes less space than a pixel with colour
information.
It may be possible to get better compression on a file that contains
lots of pixels of the same colour, but all pixels require the same basic
storage, regardless of whether they are transparent or not!

Sorry I should have been specific - my above comment is based on my
experience of exporting 8-bit PNGs from FireWorks. When I made a large
area transparent (the background area around the text for a navigation
sprite) it gave me quite a significant sizer difference compared to a
filled background.
