When I try your example with svn matplotlib, I get a 34 MB eps file, and
looking at it, I don't see much room for making it smaller--there is one
obvious optimization, abbreviating "marker", but that's it. (The svg
file is 456 MB!) So, maybe some major optimization has already been

resulting eps file. Please note, however, that you are asking for a file that
plots 2e6 points. We have already optimized the postscript commands such that
each marker or line requires essentially only a singl
