Are you using compressed jpegs? If so, be sure you have unticked the pdf converter box which says "Resample images to" It can expand them back to humoungus file sizes - I know - I nearly freaked once when I downloaded the latest Scribus and this box somehow got ticked. Even if I really compressed the pics hard, Scribus was happily making them big again :-)
