The reason a Fireworks PNG is so large in file size is that it saves all kinds of extra information so that you can go back and edit it at a later date. When you get ready to export for web use you can cut out most of that and have file sizes comparable with GIF and JPG's, now if only the browsers supported all the cool functions.
