i used 1.10a for that test (1.11 is in my test suite) and there are indeed 
differences between pdftex versions: the latest greatest has a couple of 
optimizations, even more accuracy, a few more features etc. Also, the xpdf 
lib plays a role in producing code.

(version 1+ avoids redundant copies of objects when including multiple 
pages from a file)
