And you can try:
\usepackage[expansion=false, spacing=true, kerning=true]{microtype}
and try those independently. The point of turning off expansion is
that, as the manual says somewhere, leaving it on increases file size
dramatically.
Well, stretching may embed five times as many fonts, which will
increase a small file dramatically. I don't think it will be as dramatic
if the text is much bigger than the font files to begin with.
Also, one can fine-tune the stretching to use only one extra
stretched/compressed font instead of many. This will be less
effective but it will still help - and the file size doesn't increase as
much.
