Yes, Jean-Marc, but what if one is not setting PlotPoints nor
MaxRecursion to an unusually high number? What to do then about these
large graphics files?
IMO, this is a very dissatisfying unresolved "feature" of v6 over 5
that I am very surprised (and disappointed) has not been resolved at
this late date.
When I "Save Selection As..." either PDF or EPS of a simple
Plot3D[Sin[x^2+y^2],{x,-2,2},{y,-2,2}]
I get PDF's that are about 700K and EPS that are almost 4 mb. These
are huge file sizes---especially relative to how small these files
were in v5.
Ugh.
