Multiple reboots? Why this? Anyway, the English version doesn’t work for me too. I'm facing a strange error: ========== LaTeX Error: File `footnotehyper.sty' not found. Enter file name: !

I cannot believe it makes a real difference for users. As I said already I expect a gain of about 500k if one saves 10% of the image size. If anyone wants to do it the way to go is the optimization of the image sources, IMHO. Perhaps you can file a ticket for this too?
