Media box or crop box makes no difference in file size, it essentially behaves
exactly the same: it hides content rather than remove content. It just does so
in somewhat different situations. But generically, for most displays and also
for printing, they are exactly equivalent.
My remark was about the file size, and therefore has nothing to do with media
boxes.
And as for the last remark, I already explained many times why that's
completely irrelevant, if not incorrect.
