I am not a pdf expert but this rather surprising given my experience with R 
plots. Rich, have you checked that the figures have not been converted to 
bitmaps with a default (and probably insufficient ) quality during this 
compression?
You can check it by zooming in on the figures to see if they quickly pixellise 
and become ugly.
