pdfopt is ghostscript, that is the pdf is fed into a PostScript RIP,
which spits out linearized pdf.
qpdf uses a pdf library and reorganizes the pdf so it is linearized.
So it "knows" more about pdf than gs, is much lighter (one binary and
one lib with together <1MB compared to ghostscript), much less can go
wrong (e.g. images are not changed) and IMHO the support for qpdf is
much better. :-)
Best
Martin
