They are huge.

Just look at an L3P output file to get an idea of how huge.
And L3P doesn't even inline many of the primitives.

In fact, L3P doesn't inline at all.
The POV file is big because it contains a lot of wordy POV code wrapped
around the compact Ldraw syntax, e.g.
4 16  1 2 3  4 5 6  7 8 9  10 11 12
is translated into
mesh {
triangle { <4,5,6>, <7,8,9>, <10,11,12> }
triangle { <10,11,12>, <1,2,3>, <4,5,6> }
}
And L3P even ignores linetypes 2 and 5.
