As I wrote - running lualatex (and disabling microtype) over a huge
tex source produced identical result to pdflatex - but pdf file was
15.8 MB rather than 14.1

On the other hand removing
\pdfminorversion=6
\pdfobjcompresslevel=3
\pdfcompresslevel=9

resulted in pdf (with pdflatex) 20.1MB.

Why such difference in size between pdflatex and lualatex?
