I tend to think not. You put 80,000 points in a PS, it's going to be 
big. That's all there is to it, it's the nature of Postscript.

I do think clipping is a good idea though.

What is the maximum precision in Postscript? It seems unlikely that you 
could plot 80,000 points and not have number of them overlap, unless 
it's clipped, so removing essentially redundant points may be another 
way to to go.
