<pre>I only took a quick look.
pdf1 uses tranparency.
pdftocairo uses deflate to compress the images; pdftops uses rle.
pdftops rasterizes the whole page; pdftocairo tries to avoid rasterizing
areas which would look the same were transparency not involved.
Whole page vs just the image is the big difference.</pre>
