Hi,

The following plot

>>> from numarray import *
>>> x = arange(80000)
>>> from pylab import plot,show
>>> plot(x,x)
>>> show()

and saving in postscript format generated a file of 1.5MB, while the equivalent 
is 
only 288KB in xmgrace (another plotting program). If I use plot(x,x,"k,"), this
even leads to a horrible 8.0MB. How come? I understand there is an issue 
with the fonts, but this can't be the only responsible, can it? Plotting no 
points, 
just a title, and saving in postscript leads to a file size of only 133KB.

FWIW, I'm trying to make postscript plots using Python 2.4.1, latest numarray, 
and matplotlib 0.83.2.

Cheers,
Joris
