Scanning at 1200 ppi is well over the top, unless maybe scanning a postage stamp or similar. Very rarely more than 300 ppi is required for (letter size) documents. More than 600 ppi considered a waste of time.
It seems necessary. I'm scanning cards with small text on them. When I import the pdf into gimp at 100 resolution the text is almost unreadable and difficult to manipulate in GIMP. When I boost the resolution value at import it seems to improve it.
So I'm wondering how that works and what is optimal there.
