So an older version of xsane works? The current version is 0.91, by
the way.

Which version of sane-backends do you use?

Does it depend on resolution or mode setting? Only in viewer mode or
also in the preview window and when you save the image?

Different speed are rathe uncommen when using different frontends. Are
you sure that you have only one version of sane-backends installed?

What happens if you scan with scanimage? E.g. "scanimage >image.pnm".
Or xscanimage?
