[scribus] Some thoughts from a daily user

>From what I understand it is because Scribus places the text glyph by
glyph on the page. I guess other programs place the text line by line,
which means the PDF will contain fewer "cursor placement commands".

So, it is not a matter of Scribus not compressing images, it is a
matter of Scribus being "better" on exact placing of glyphs.
