I have translated some docs from LaTeX to ConTeXt and I found that the PDF files generated by ConTeXt are almost 3 times bigger than the ones generated by LaTeX (*). Why all this difference?
for that you need to look into the pdf file - are fonts embedded - how many fonts are used (maybe context has more granularity) - is the number of pages the same - is the compression level set to 9 - context uses a different hyperlink model etc best compare two 10 page docs and two 100 page docs another possibility is that there are more 'redundant' cm transforms (depends a bit); this is actually a pdftex problem but the latest/future versions will behave better also, the next version of pdftex will do object compression which means that files can get much smaller so, without examples i can't say much (how do 'hello world' docs compare?)
