Better than nothing, actually.

However, the `multivalent' part is the real optimization engine (and
this is exactly the problematic bit w.r.t. the license); using it you
should get far more impressive numbers.

I setup pdfsizeopt, including multivalent, and ran the 2.13.55 docs through it, then created a PDF portfolio with an embedded index using Acrobat. The end result was a 34.8MB file containing

extending.pdf
internals.pdf
learning.pdf
notation.pdf
snippets.pdf
usage.pdf
web.pdf

For comparison, a portfolio from the same files shrunk in Acrobat is 29.9Mb, and one made from the PDFs straight out of the doc tarball is a bit over 50Mb.
