I am about to release a shareware package of BGI's for Laserjet, matrix and
HPGL.  These BGI's will produce MUCH smaller output files than you indicate.
The HPGL version scales the plot surface to your P1/P2 settings so it can
produce any size of plot.  The matrix and laserjet BGI's come in two 
versions 1/2 page and full page.  All output is truncated so that blank 
trailing bytes are not sent to the printer.  The developers' version of the
package ($25) includes a configuration editor which allows you to send 
output to any device or file.  The BGI's are also very small 3-4 K.  They
use a disk buffer for graphics processing to minimize4 memory requirements
but this can be redirected to a RAM drive to maximize speed.
