It may be that after rotation, pixels that were otherwise the same

People,
I used:
xsane-0.997-3.fc12.x86_64
to scan an A4 page at 300dpi in LineArt mode and got a file of:
325,668 t_xsane.png

gimp-2.6.8-1.fc12.x86_64
rotating the image by -0.7 and cropping slightly - the resulting image
was 10 times
