1. no thats not normal, but it may be caused by lamp warm-up or some such. 
need more debug log info of what is going on during that pause.

2. of course it cant get a preview its an adf only scanner, and it cant 
back up.

3. xsane may have its own timers, and the backend my freeze too long, i 
dont know.
