I couldn't work out what your first attachment (with the slur) had to
do with the PDF, bt anyway try

\markup "uniform-stretching results in too much space after barline"
\score {
 { \time 1/4 \repeat unfold 16 { \times 2/3 { gis'8 a' b' } } }
 \layout {
   indent = 0
   system-count = #2
   ragged-right = ##t
   \context {
     \Score
     \override SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
   }
 }
}

\markup "For comparison, here's the same fragment without uniform-stretching"
\score {
 { \time 1/4 \repeat unfold 16 { \times 2/3 { gis'8 a' b' } } }
 \layout {
   indent = 0
   system-count = #2
      ragged-right = ##t
 }
}


(basically change the \time an add a ragged right) and it seems
counterintuitive, but the two are definitely different in this regard.
To be perfectly honest I like the space, and when you cram the notes
in the space does seem to be even  - try repeat unfold 32 for
instance. I cannot see any difference - if that matters.
