The canon machines with the autostart switch have two different usb ids. I know neither of those for the P-150 or P-150M, so neither of them would be in the config file. This makes me wonder if something is wrong with your chronology- I don't think scanimage -L could have found the scanner before

Sounds like we have some problem with the genesys backend. Can you compile an older version of sane-backends (perhaps 1.0.24, or whatever version Ubuntu 14.04 used)? If that works, then you can do a git bisect, and find where it breaks. If that does not work, I think we are looking at something

Xsane has no networking code in it. Everything you have described so far sounds like a problem in the brother4 backend. I suggest you try the same test using scanimage at the command line, and if it is still slow, compare to the windows driver. If you see a difference, ask Brother about brother4.
