Don't know if anyone mentioned this but I've had Quark files that appear to be roughly double the size they should be when distilled.
The specs for the files are typically; 32 page facing spreads, saved as single page postscript file.
I've found that if a picture box extends even slightly over to the opposing facing page, that the image will be included in the postscript file twice.
This is a pain because often a picture box from one page will cross over and it looks like the entire image is included in the postscript and the distilled pdf.

False.
An EPS file containing raster data makes a call to either the image or colorimage PostScript operator in order to draw its bitmap. Distiller intercepts these calls and applies downsampling and compression to ALL images. It can distinguish the type of image i.e. monochrome, grayscale, or color by examining the parameters passed to the image operator. It will then apply the appropriate set of downsampling and then compression to the image. Notice in the Distiller UI there are separate settings for each of these types of images.

It is possible to have EPS images that contain rasterized information too. In these cases I believe that any distiller settings for downsampling and compression are _NOT_ applied to the raster information inside the EPS.

By the by, you could try the PDF Enhancer
(http://www.apago.com/PDF_Enhancer) on your 54 MB file. I have not had good
luck with this tool (it really hurt my BMP and TIFF images).
Which Enhancer did you use? Did you look at the target settings
and adjust them to not downsample images as much??
(It is also annoying that I cannot run PDF Enhancer on my WIN2000 box unless I am in the Administrator mode.)
Sorry about that - it's fixed for a 2.0.3 update due next week!
