Still the case in the current version: when a question is saved, all of its settings are stored, including the ones left at their default value. This was done on purpose in 2024 (QE-1036), probably because the new question editor relies on it. We need to decide whether to keep that before this can be changed.

The LSS size is really bigger: the sample moved to more than 2M

Maybe check with the new question editor really need it ?
