Have you really done a full page at 600 dpi?  On the one gig machine? 
iscan keeps telling me I need to use a lower resolution or a smaller 
area.  It seems to be being very polite about not using my swap space, 
but I made that swap partition for a reason.  And doing two scans for 
every page might be even slower than letting xsane use all my swap 
space. 

I'm really thinking it might make sense to return this scanner and try 
something else.

The dipsomaniac and the abstainer are not only both mistaken, but they 
both make the same mistake: They both regard wine as a drug and not as 
a drink.
