Thanks for this advice - and to second Gabor's experience: I just tried it on a couple of my files and achieved reductions on the order of 90% (28.6MB to 4.4MB and 1.5GB to 170MB)!
This file contains lots of small plots but also many scattersmooth()- images ... So I think it does quite well in my case.
