That is what I recall.

OK.  I just figured out the (rather inane) error.  I was comparing the
file sizes to the mag factor, not to the square of the mag factor.

[SIGH] :(

Taking that into account, even the the GF files show sublinear byte
size expansion when linearly scaled (same pt size, higher dpi).

I've poking around with the datasets some more, but my hp48 is not
handy and I've not found a good package on this box to inspect the
data.  At http://www.io.com/~cloos/pk/ their are a csv and space-sv
file of the data.  The former has lables and the latter just the data.

Perhaps someone can do a better analysis of the data.
