Thank you for your quick answer.
In my scanning options I use neither ocr output nor file cleaning (I use 
a french user interface, it might be scan cleaning instead of file cleaning)
You will find as attached files:
1. the log output (log_gscan.txt)
2. the file as output by gscan2pdf (test_gscan2pdf_1_500-12.pdf) : 500 
means white threshold=0.500 and 12 black threshold=0.12
3. the file as output by simple-scan (test_simplescan_1.pdf

You will notice that, in additionto the file size problem, the quality 
of the output file is much better with simple-scan.

When the same document sheet is scanned with the default threshold 
values (white=0.005 and black=0.12) the file size goes down to 317,2 kb, 
which is still 4 times the size of simple-scan, with no visible quality 
improvement.
