83MB dissertation! Too much content indeed. But what kind of content? Do
you have many high-resolution images? Many bitmapped fonts? What is the
output of dvips?

For comparison, I have a 300 page textbook and its size is less than 2
MB. And a two-volume collection of papers (650 pages in total) is less
than 4MB.
