CMYK: ps2pdf -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK

There are some presets to consider which adjust the right amount of compression for various mediums:

-dCompressFonts=boolean

Defines whether ps2pdf will compress embedded fonts in the output. The default value is true; the false setting is intended only for debugging.

-dPDFSETTINGS=configuration

Presets the "distiller parameters" to one of four predefined settings:

• /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
• /ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
• /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
• /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.
• /default selects output intended to be useful across a wide variety of uses, possibly at the expense of a larger output file.

The best way to make a low file sized PDF is to print to postscript in Illustrator, then use this command to convert to PDF:

ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK filename.ai.ps

Even more interesting, the quality (fonts, etc) of the Postscript file will depend on the Postscript driver you use! Use the Apple Color Laser driver.
