Exported pdf files are significantly bigger than before

Is there a way to change this default setting for Resolution in gimp settings so that there is no need to specify a lower resolution every time one opens a pdf file?

No, that is the reverse of the previous situation where Gimp users complained about having to up the value from 100 to 300.

PDF is just a wrapper, and for an image Gimp has low compression. If you want a smaller PDF, export to a more compressed file, say a jpeg.
ImageMagick makes a smaller PDF from the jpeg. However a PDF is supposed to be a 'finished' format, not meant to be edited (although it happens)
