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 Hans
