I have found that for custom loading screens, if you change the tga into a blp (there's a program for that you can download from somewhere off this site), then the size is much smaller - maybe half a Mb or 3/4...there's a tutorial somewhere around here for this...because you'll also have to use a loadingscreen.mdx that's specifically for blps.

It's a whole thread about it.
