Oops, forgot to change the settings.
There is no existing file to compare to, so the 'download' link gives you as 
much as the comparison would.

It was only a first impression.
I thought that the effort to implement and at least minimally document the 
command-line option would be greater than the value to the users of TeX + 
LilyPond + pdfsizeopt (excluding Knut, who can already already use his patch).

If you find it straightforward to encapsulate the code, then we can probably 
incorporate it.
