Another possibility is to post process your PDF. We for instance first generate the PDF and afterwards use some other PDF library to shrink the images and remove unused objects and other stuff... If something is possible with a PDF in question you may try out with acrobat - there are options to optimize and shrink your PDF. If there is no reduction in file size with those options you may already have the perfect PDF without any overhead ;-)
