ps.map reads raster maps using the current region settings. Try to
adjust the region resolution to reduce the number of cells in the
current region. You can calculate the minimum required region
resolution from the map dimensions (e.g. paper size minus borders for
East-West) and desired dpi. The number of rows and columns in the
current region should correspond to the number of dots that fit into
the printed or pdf map.
