Hi Florian,
Postscript isn't a good format for raster data. It only has limited
support for data compression. In Level 2, LZW compression can be used,
but this is not implemented by many converters (due to now obsolete
patent issues, amongst other reasons). Thus, file size will usually
increase significantly when you convert from lossy formats, such as jpg.
You can try free converters, such as imconv and convert, to see if they
produce smaller PS files, I'm not sure if any of those support compression.
Hope this helps,
Jo
