Thank you for your help, Tilman. Now I actually try to re-use existing content streams whenever possible, and the files are much smaller.

First page of smallest PDFBox file has 127 (!) content streams, many of them empty (but Flate compressed so it costs about 29 bytes extra), most of them tiny. You can see that with PDFDebugger.
