It's obviously the similar to turning off previews. Been doing that for years to make web graphics a wee bit smaller. I wonder how much is saved from turning off the backward compatibility feature, which is occasionally needed. Thanks, Phil! Well, duh on me! It’s obviously the similar to turning off previews.

(just more complicated) in general a composite of all layers is saved in a PSD (ok, it's a bit more complicated than that) and that just doesn't compress as well, as a white layer. so if you are really want so save HD space, you can have this way easier ;-) sorry to disappoint, but in 99% of all cases it makes just more sense to turn off “maximize backward compatibility” in the photoshop prefs and save files _without_ previews.
