Are you sure to put all flags to 0 ? There is one flag per digitizer module,
such as :

#/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesAdderFlag 0
#/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesReadoutFlag 0
#/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesBlurringFlag 0
#/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesThresholderFlag 0

and more ... so if you defined such modules, I think this is the reason why
you even get big root files.

Hope it helps,
Simon
