The comparison is just over the PDF files, old way (Truetype embedding) 
vs. new way (Type 3 subsetting). 
The ratios are different because I chose to highlight the examples that 
are quite "texty".  That wasn't a deliberate attempt to mislead, it's 
just because this change is related to fonts.  Most of the other 
examples use a single font, and the plotting content itself dominates 
file size.
