so what do you use otherwise (instead of tetex)?

are the same versions of pdftex used?

Can you post the files someplace (tetex and non tetex variants).

(maybe the tetex context is an old one and does not use latin modern; 
latin modern gives larger files due to extensive hinting - read: better 
quality; if so, a 600 page doc will have the same difference of about 
218 kb)

you can run pdffonts to check this
