My experience is the opposite: the more graphics in the source
document, the better the compression. A straight text document, in
fact, seems to compress very little. Graphics get "downsampled" to a
fixed resolution and that can give some dramatic compression. The
various types of compression in Acrobat can be enabled individually.
