I have been using pdfsizeopt to resize pdf files. It uses jbig2 as the encoder and the reduction in size varies. The last pdf went from 51MB to 13MB with little appreciable difference in quality.

Thanks for the reference. Simply using GhostScript to rewrite the file took 600K from the size of the PDF document that I tried (3.2MB vs. 3.8MB, approximately).
