The problem is most conversion tools put raw uncompressed data in the
postscript file, which is a big waste (but was the only way to do it
in PS level 1). Others are better, e.g. tiff2ps from the libtiff
library, or imgtops. Arxiv.org gives some recommendations for
avoiding the "bloat":

I believe Level 2 postscript can wrap compressed JPEG data directly.

http://imgtops.sourceforge.net/

has more info.
