I have to put a 3D Mathematica plot in a latex document so I save the plot by right clicking it and saving as .eps. The problem is that if I save as vector graphics the file is 14MB, if I save as BMP inside the eps, the file is 2MB still too big and it takes too much time each time I'm recompiling the file.

Is there a way to efficiently save the plot as .eps so that 
1. the file is small
2. quality is still acceptable
3. recompiling the latex is fast

What are the necessery steps/settings that work best for that?
