We are not really talking about the same thing. You are not getting an URL and loading that same image using iText directly and through the java awt toolkit. What you are doing is generating an awt image and using that image as a reference. Then you save that image to jpeg, with some unknown compression, and load it again. You choose the worst format to save charts. If you had saved the image as gif or png the size would be similar, if compression was applied.
