Hi JJ,
I just want to confirm that changing pswrite to ps2write fixes the
issue for me. Since no-one else replied to this thread, is this
something we should ask the ghostscript mailing list about?
Cheers,
Tom

Okay, I just confirmed that using a gs distiller greatly increases the
file size with gs 9.0.
I have no idea what's going on and I hope that someone more
knowledgeable than me steps in.
Meanwhile, using the ps2write device with gs seems to solve the
issue (but I'm not sure of its consequences).
Note that, even with usetex=False, you have a large ps file when
distiller is used .
When usetex=True, the distiller is always used (if distiller=None,
ghostscript is used).
Therefore, my guess is that the large file size is results of
distilling using the ghostscript.
I wonder if this is an
Hi Jae-Joon,
Ok, that makes sense - I tried upgrading to 9.0.1 and it looks like there is
still an issue:

Hi Jae-Joon,
I tried inserting:
mpl.rc('ps', usedistiller=None)
after importing matplotlib, and I get:
$ du -sk *.eps
6204test_1.eps
34104 test_2.eps
using 'ghostscript' I get:
$ du -sk *.eps
34096 test_1.eps
34104 test_2.eps
and using 'xpdf' raises an exception:
File
With current master at git repo, I cannot reproduce this.
Both test_1.eps and test_2.eps are ~4M in size.
Can you check if the file size varies significantly with rc parameters
ps.usedistiller?
I'm not sure how text setting can affect the images.

Hi,
In the following example:
---
import numpy as np
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax.imshow(np.random.random((1024, 1024)), interpolation='nearest')
fig.savefig('test_1.eps')
mpl.rc('text',
