You don't. Both PostScript and PDF are programatic formats. This means that
there isn't, say, a description of the lines on a page stored in the file,
but a program describing how to draw them.

Conversion is thus, difficult.

Specifically, ghostscript is converting from one _programming_language_ to
another; and you are worrying about the size :)
