This seems like straining the definition of "compression". We have a delta-coding filter and then palettization? That's it?
Edit: I should say, I find it surprising (but cool) that it apparently works so well. I would have expected errors to accumulate since the decoder has to un-delta-code. I saw mention of Floyd-Steinberg dithering and presumably that's what it's for; seems hard to get it working across multiple colour axes simultaneously, but the complexity is all in the encoder, so.
1) IMO pointless to put an emphasis on extreme decompression speed but not show numbers against JPEG even
2) BCx essentially does the same codebooking/paletting but more efficiently by allowing you to interpolate between two palette entries for an even larger compression
Worth noting that something perf-optimized for RP2350 is almost certainly not going to be optimal on a modern desktop-class core (with deep pipelines and wide ILP/SIMD).

Fun. Vaguely reminiscent of the Amiga HAM video mode.
