... which leads me to another optimization: each bond
has two sphere caps, the center being the center of
both cylinder end circles. As far as I can see, the cylinders
are exactly overlapped such that the end cap spheres
are on the same position. So, two identical objects at the
same place. Removing one would give a further 20 per
cent reduction in size. If you remove only those with identical
parameters, you still can remove the CPK part and have
a perfectly smooth wireframe. Of course you could have
much more if you make the molecule out of those pieces
(sphere+half bond) that have the same material, anyway,
but you then lose being able to separate CPK and wire.
I personally could care less, however. If I want wire only,
I turn off CPK in Jmol and export then, that's it.

Is there a chance to see one or the other optimization?

Best,
