Very large PS and PDF files created by 2.5 on SuSE 9.3

[Imruska]

Hello,

Since I also had problems with the Lilypond package of SuSE 9.3 (not 
embedded ec-fonts) - though I think it is rather a tetex problem, as I 
had the same problems with Lilypond 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 compiled from source 
as well - I installed 2.5.30 and now the former problem has disappeared. 
(Since, as I believe, 2.5.x does not use tetex any longer.)

Now, however, the size of the ps and pdf files are enormous.
A one-page choir score for 4 voices, produces a 1,0 MB ps and a 129,5 KB 
pdf file, Lilypond 2.4.5 produced from the same source a 25,6 KB pdf 
file (I did not keep the ps). More surprisingly, the pdf file can be 
greatly compressed, with bzip2 I get a file size of 31,7 KB.
With another (4 page) score I also received a pdf of ca. 130 KB/page, 
which I could zip to ca. 30-35 KB/page.

Which program is responsible for this? Lilypond 2.5; the Ghostscript 
(8.15rc1) or the Pango (1.8.1) of the SuSE 9.3 distribution?
