On Windows Vista or above, it's possible to configure the scanner process to use Windows' low-priority I/O feature (enhancement with basic patch at http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8525) to ensure that the scanner doesn't affect streaming/UI. I assume the equivalent on Linux would be ionice.
It'd be a shame to lose the ability to do this kind of thing.
