So I reinstalled inkscape and now have the 0.46 build April 8 2008 with Cairo.
I did a save as pdf, I did not check the convert text to path checkbox, and the pdf file is still 1.5mb.

The cairo PDF exporter in Inkscape 0.46 does not support creating PDF 
files that uses, but does not embed, the 14 standard PostScript fonts. 
Cairo subsets the fonts it embeds so the embedded fonts do not take up 
much space. The standard fonts feature has been deprecated since PDF
 1.5 
and it is now recommended that all fonts used in the PDF are embdeded.
If you are having problems with large PDF files sizes I recommend 
ensuring that Inkscape is using version 1.6 or later of cairo and the 
"Convert text to paths" option is not set.
