[argyllcms] Devicelink profile size


Hi,
I'm using icclink and I have some questions:
1) Even knowing that "good things come in small packages", the devicelink profile sizes I'm getting from icclink are quite small, comparing with other packages. I'm doing CMYK to CMYK dvl profiles and I'm getting 800k each profile in high quality. If I use medium quality, the profile size is less than 100k. Are these normal sizes? The original profiles I'm dealing have 2MBytes each and other devicelink packages build profiles around 2Mbytes too.
2) I'm proofing a very yellow paper and I'd like to have an absolute colorimetric mapping to reproduce the yellow paper in the device link profile. I'm using the "-i a" option and I'm confused if should use "-o" option, too. My understand is that the second profile doesn't need any white-point adaptation as I'm using it in the same condition as measured and I'm assuming icclink is using the absolute rendering table in the second profile, too. Am I correct ?
3) I'd like to preserve the blacks in my devicelink (it´s a CMYK to CMYK link for proofing) and I believe the -kt is the best option, according to the tutorial. Is there any other option useful in CMYK-to-CMYK scenario? My settings are: icclink -v -qh -G -ia -dpp -l360 -kt Piaui_Press_Yellow_Paper.icc HP_5550DN_plain_121107.icc Arg_Abs.icc 

Best regards,
Lorenzo
