Why Save Images as .bmp?

$

Just looking at all my project folders, we have hundreds and hundreds of screen captures that are .bmp format.

I did my own test saving the same screen capture in different formats - .bmp, .jpg, and .gif.
Results: .bmp is 955 KB, .jpg is 76 KB, and .gif is only 18 KB.

With all these images being published to our server, I was thinking it must be important to optimize images or else I would think this could affect how quickly the pages load once online.

As a general rule, shouldn't all the screen captures be saved as .gif? If so, why is the default for RoboScreenCapture set to save as Windows Bitmap?

thanks!
