Well, my setup was slow. Enough of memory, but slow processor (Pentium 200). But compared to the SilverFast, which was instanteous even on my old machine. And on a better computer, you would be still scanning still bigger files than I did when I used the scanner. OTOH, as they said, VueScan is quite capable. It does things many OEM softwares do not. I had received SF with the scanner, and the OEM software (Microtek's) was totally unusable. Without the SF I would have returned the scanner. That the VueScan's controls are awful is my opinion. YMMV, as always on this list. But I stand behind it :-) It would be much better software if Ed Hamrick got better controls into it. But you can judge for yourself - the VueScan has got a trial version, which is the same as the full version, only limited by watermarking your image. Thus you can try before you buy.
