[gs-devel] Massive increase of filesize after merging two PDFs

I compiled 8.62. With that version a 14KB and a 140 KB PDF is merged 145 KB.
Then I have to run a second installation of gs-8.62 on that server, because
the old 7.05 is neccessary for an application that is certified only for
that RHEL 3.

Thanks.
