What do we gain?

pdftex older than version 1.3 produces PDF1.4 so that the user gets a consistent PDF. (If the image is included as PDF1.3 it is internally converted which might take some extra time). As far as I know is the change between PDF1.4 and PDF1.5 much bigger concerning the graphics. I don't know if the change to ps2pdf14 is a big advantage and somebody must verify that it works together with teTex 2.x (I can't do this).
