You could always specify the compress option - for example:

pdftk input.pdf burst output output_%02d.pdf compress

Note that pdftk just copies the content of your PDF files from the inputs into the outputs, and can't do very much to optimize away bloat. So if your input PDFs are large/complicated, your output PDFs will be also. Also note that any fonts embedded in the document may end up being duplicated in each output document, taking up more space.
