Still not sure why Gimp seems to export the JPG's in a way that takes up so much space! Would really like it to take up the same, smaller amount of space as other documents I have of the same dimensions-
Did you change the chroma subsampling?
Technically, Gimp is using the same code library as many other applications. But even for a given quality setting, the level of compression depends on the picture. A furry animal generates a bigger file that a plain wall because there is more detail to encode. Sometime just blurring the image a bit yields an important size reduction.
