I'm just looking at the size of the file produced by "make postgres-A4.pdf".
I don't know anything about jpdftweak, but if it's being used to get rid of unreferenced hyperlink anchors, maybe we could dispense with that step after this goes in.
Yeah, that's what I was hoping. You can see how it's used in the mk-release-pdfs script on borka. It doesn't explain why we're doing it, that's probably in the list archives somewhere, but it does show what we do. So it should be easy enough to see if the benefit goes away :) (it would also be nice for build times - that pdftweak step is very very slow)
