I have a jpg that has a size of 21.1 kB. After encoding it using inline-image() the size of my CSS file increased by 138.5 kB!

Image: http://kikowebdesign.com/tests/banner.jpg
pyScss version 1.1.3
python version 2.6.1

I switched to this compiler after support for klen's scss compiler (https://github.com/klen/python-scss) was dropped and I found that after the switch, most of the inline-images increased in bulk in the stylesheet. (Some surpassed 32 kB and were no longer rendered in IE8).
