Well, his test shows

 19.979.555 original 2.18.2 notation.pdf + ghostscript + pdfsizeopt (1736 fonts)
  4.307.825 patched 2.18.2 notation.pdf + ghostscript + pdfsizeopt (69 fonts)

which is an impressive argument for adding the patch IMHO.

Knut, are you willing to work on that, this is, adding a command line
argument and properly documenting it?
