If I understand correctly,
it is due to the difference in the method of invoking Ghostscript.
The new method was introduced from commit 017927b4.

For example, here is my experiment with commit 21a20de3 and gs-9.52.

```
$ cat foo.ly
{ c d e f g a b }

$ lilypond -dgs-never-embed-fonts --ps --pdf foo.ly
...snip...

$ echo "mark /OutputFile (foo.new-method.pdf) /PageSize [595.28 841.89] 
(pdfwrite) finddevice putdeviceprops setdevice newpath fill (foo.ps) run" > 
gs-command.ps

$ gs -dNODISPLAY -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dAutoRotatePages=/None 
-dPrinted=false gs-command.ps
...snip...

$ gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dPrinted=false 
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 
-sOutputFile=foo.old-method.pdf -f foo.ps
...snip...

$ ls -l *.pdf
-rw-r--r--+ 1 trueroad none 7081 Jul 11 14:41 foo.new-method.pdf
-rw-r--r--+ 1 trueroad none 6423 Jul 11 14:41 foo.old-method.pdf
-rw-r--r--+ 1 trueroad none 7084 Jul 11 14:41 foo.pdf

$
```

>From the same PostScript file, the new method generates a PDF of 7081 bytes
and the old method generates a PDF of 6423 bytes.
The new method is more than 10 % larger than the old method.

Next, I tried to find out what the increase was.

```
$ qpdf --qdf foo.pdf foo.qdf

$ qpdf --qdf foo.new-method.pdf foo.new-method.qdf

$ qpdf --qdf foo.old-method.pdf foo.old-method.qdf

$ diff -u foo.qdf foo.new-method.qdf > direct-to-new.diff

$ diff -u foo.old-method.qdf foo.new-method.qdf > old-to-new.diff

$
```

>From `old-to-new.diff`, it seems that the amount of drawing operators
in the /Contents has increased significantly.
