My NR is 44MByte, too, with gs 9.26 and extractpdfmark enabled. (At
least I have
*.pdfmark residual files in out-www and would thus deduce that it has
been run...)
Interesting, however, is that compiling the NR with a simple texi2pdf
run gives
only 40MByte size for me. Seems that extractpdfmark does not give a
reduction in
size here
