don't copy overviews. So your last gdal_translate command
effectively removes all tiling, overviews and compression. If you
want to have a tiled and compressed file, add the '-co
compress=lzw" to your first gdal_translate command, which will
create a tiled and compressed 'out.tif'. Then add overviews to
that with gdaladdo. If I'm not mistaken, the overviews use the
settings from the main dataset, so would also use lzw compression.

Correction: that should of course read: "So your last gdal_translate
command effectively removes all tiling and overviews, while adding
lzw compression."
