[sane-devel] sane scans take so long

[tj]

Why do scans take so long on my Canoscan FB630U?
I scan a 6"x4" color photo @600dpi and it takes just over four minutes. 
I boot the same machine to Windows XP and do the same exact scan using 
Paint Shop Pro and it takes only 43 secs.

Don't even try to do a 600dpi black/white scan 8.5"x11" like a copier. 
Just start it and then go watch a TV show.
