[sane-devel] Possible to make test backend to slow down?

Hi Mark,

# No need to send to sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.  It just
# forwards to sane-devel at alioth.lists.debian.net so we end up with

Read the sane-test manual page?  ;-)

I see read-limit, read-limit-size, read-delay, read-delay-duration
options that might be of use.

Hope this helps,
