Really? It's over 300 pages in length and contains plenty of vector graphics (more text). But actually that 70 MB seems an overestimate and I must have been looking at something else.
yes, that's best because as soon as that command is called, the set value of 'level' is used, no matter what other values has been set
Here is the result of some experimentation: 23,396,929 Bytes using just \setupbackend[level=9]. 21,945,243 Bytes using the aforementioned, \pdfcompresslevel9, and \maximumpdfcompression. 23,396,827 Bytes using none of those three. So I guess I'm still not sure which one to use since the one you said should be sufficient doesn't seem to compress it fully.
never use \pdf* commands directly .. way too low level and use the oher command only for fast tests (i use it in small test files)
