what is it that pdf can do that postscript cannot? I was under the impression that pdf was just a compressed and simplified postscript file.
the biggest overhead of converting between pdf and ps is the overhead of dealing with the compression.

You're mistaken.
The drawing commands in a PDF file are a (non-Turing-complete) subset of PostScript, though, so the mistake is understandable.
