Which Mac version did you test? The version you’ve built from source or the official one from download?

Which version of UserGuide.pdf - the english or some other language?

I cannot reproduce both of these with the german version.

Do you think this is related with the reported problems? 
What do you mean with *much* smaller exactly?
There are 272 png files with an total size of about 1.1 MByte.
There are 10 pdf files with a size of about 200 kBytes total.
There are 1443 svgz files with a size of about 4 MBytes total.
The shipping size of the LyX bundle is more than 127 MBytes. 
Do you think reducing the images makes it *much* smaller?
