It is a bit wasteful to keep those in the indirects objects table for ever and onwards, but I am not sure if it is doable to flush them right away. (CC ntg-pdftex)
I don't think that optimizations like these are generally usefull as they are seldom needed and make the code more complex. When I look at a typical result of ConTeXt or hyperref, they seem unneeded.
I wasn't worried about the actual objects/pdf file size, but about the space they take up in the indirect objects table, thereby indirectly limiting the total page length of a PDF document. Are there no objects that can simply be flushed to the file and then forgotten about? Huge page runs are not that unusual in database publishing. Greetings, Taco
