Yep, for the bigger files I precisely see the factor 1.6. > Checkout the most recent version (ref. 2647). Then add the new flag > PSbinexpand=2 to all the bitmap instances.

It's too expensive (in file size). With version 2654 everything seems to work fine. So the file size is a clear drawback. On the other hand, it does work now ;-) Still, the whole issue seems really weird, in particular because small changes in the text part of the latex file can make the problem disappear even without the PSbinexpand. So can one say that this is a bug in gv? Interestingly/sadly, it does not show with the .eps alone, but only when embedded... It would be nice to have a simpler way to trigger the bug... I had a look at the gv project at http://www.gnu.org/software/gv/ http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gv and the activity is pretty low, in particular wrt replies to bug reports and questions which is not very encouraging to file a bug report there ... Andre, many thanks for your effort and the patch - I clearly owe another round of beer the next time we meet!
