If you lower the resolution those auto-scanning services that does OCR on the documents will get problems converting the tex back to normal text. Which might or might not be the point of doing this in the first place... :-)

Just remember that if you make it harder for OCR to produce accurate text from an image, you also make it harder for blind people to read it.
