If I create a plot and then create a pdf the size of the pdf file is around 44k
But: if a put a grid on xy axis, the size of the file is 2Mb!!!!
Why?

Guess your grid consists of non solid lines and you find code for ever dash/dot in our pdf file.
The easiest way to find out is to look into the pdf file.

The problem is that in linux it is ok, but things get always different under windows...
