I cannot reproduce this. Steps I tried:

1) Download a minimal PDF file:
http://brendanzagaeski.appspot.com/minimal.pdf (739 bytes)
2) Add it to calibre and add some metadata
3) Use the embed metadata tool
4) The PDF filesize becomes 17KB (an increase of ~16KB nowhere near
500KB)

Embedding metadata embeds *all* the mettadata for that book present in
calibre, this means all the standard fields,m comments and all custom
columns. Assuming you dont have a book sized comments field pdf filesize
will typically increase by 10-20KB.
