Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\setupexternalfigure[location=default]
\starttext
\startmode[repeated-image]
\dorecurse{10}{
\dorecurse{10}{
\dorecurse{10}{
\externalfigure[cow]\input zapf\par}}}
\stopmode
\startmode[single-image]
\externalfigure[cow]
\dorecurse{10}{
\dorecurse{10}{
\dorecurse{10}{
\input zapf\par}}}
\stopmode
\startmode[no-image]
\dorecurse{10}{
\dorecurse{10}{
\dorecurse{10}{
\input zapf\par}}}
\stopmode
\stoptext
Output file sizes with different modes are the following:
--mode=repeated-image 745KB
--mode=single-image 303KB
--mode=no-image 302KB
Although the image is the same (and it is only embedded once) file size
with repeated image is almost two and a half times that the version with
a single image.
Is this right or am I missing something?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

(1) each reference to an image takes some 40 bytes (uncompressed)
(2) when you include the image n times you get 3 times as many pages
which means 400 more page descriptions etc, so you need to add 2 times
no image minus font overhead which is about what you see
context does some aggressive object sharing anyway so on the average the
pdf files produced are quite efficient

Many thanks for your explanation, Hans.
I totally missed the the triple pages with repeated images.
