That's an odd request.  What kind of data are you shoving in?  If you
have 5 MB worth of information, then there's no magical way to reduce
the size.  Are there a lot of images in the data?  Are you trimming the
images to the actual size you need before embedding them?  Do you have a
ridiculously high dots-per-inch value in your images?
