Make sure you have disabled all of the extra drivers that are
included with ESP Ghostscript.  I just checked, and a stripped
binary for Linux Intel that has the config files compiled in
and only the CUPS and PCL-XL drivers is only 2.6MB, so it is
definitely doable (try running "strip" on your current executable
to see if that removes the extra, unnecessary symbol/debug info
that is normally included in the compiled executable.
