Thanks, Kornel.
I must have looked at the wrong tar.gz file. The correct one is indeed 
just 350 kiB as expected by the size of the lyx file and the two figures.
But the pdf file shows still the figure with a large gap between the 
graphics, although I did not insert a horizontal space between them.
So I change the topic to
Why do two graphics next to each other in a float have a large gap 
between them?
