Hi,
since you don't give us an example I can only try to reduce the size
with my own example
plt = ContourPlot[Sin[x*y], {x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi}];
FileInformation[Export["i:/temp/ctest.eps", plt]]
gives
{File -> "I:\\temp\\ctest.eps", FileType -> File, Date -> 3425476087,
ByteCount -> 2688623}
while
plt1 = ContourPlot[Sin[x*y], {x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi},
MaxRecursion -> 0, PlotPoints -> 64,
Method -> {"Refinement" -> {"CellDecomposition" -> "Quad"}}]
FileInformation[Export["i:/temp/ctest1.eps", plt1]]
gives
{File -> "I:\\temp\\ctest1.eps", FileType -> File, Date -> 3425476179,
ByteCount -> 679263}
the last file is nearly 4 times smaller
and
plt2 = ContourPlot[Sin[x*y], {x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi},
MaxRecursion -> 0, PlotPoints -> 32,
Method -> {"Refinement" -> {"CellDecomposition" -> "Quad"}}];
FileInformation[Export["i:/temp/ctest2.eps", plt2]]
gives a nearly 9 times smaller *.eps file.
So you have to play around a with the PlotPoints and MaxRecursions
option.
How ever since the refinement is adaptive, the size reduction depend on
the function you try to plot.
Hope that helps
