Reducing PDF size when distilling PS with EPS Forms

I have a PS file with an embedded EPS image. I used Tgreer's great ReusableStreamDecode posts in the Postscript forum as a reference, and am creating using the images on a per-page header by doing

save
100 100 translate
MyLogoForm execform
restore

The PS output looks great, however I'm running into problems when I convert to PDF using the Ghostscript PS2PDF program. The header image adds 5k bytes to my PDF file, for EACH page it appears on. 10 empty pages are 50k, 25 pages are 125k, etc.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the size of my output? I had thought that embeddeding the image as a form would result in references to the embedded image, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
