I have translated some docs from LaTeX to ConTeXt and I found that the

generated by LaTeX (*). Why all this difference?
for that you need to look into the pdf file
- are fonts embedded
- how many fonts are used (maybe context has more granularity)
- is the number of pages the same
- is the compression level set to 9
- context uses a different hyperlink model
etc
best compare two 10 page docs and two 100 page docs
another possibility is that there are more 'redundant' cm transforms
(depends a bit); this is actually a pdftex problem but the latest/future
versions will behave better
also, the next version of pdftex will do object compression which means
that files can get much smaller
so, without examples i can't say much (how do 'hello world' docs compare?)
