I wouldn't recommend this method in general since the resulting files will be significantly larger. The reason is that in the output from ps2ps, everything is produced using low-level Postscript drawing commands. Instead of typesetting a font symbol by specifying the font name and the character code, the postscript code draws the symbol using lines, spline curves and so on.
