Hi ... I'm far from an expert on these matters, having only used a scanner twice. However, my "scanning mentor" pointed out that some of the Nikon scanners, and other brands as well, allow for automatic scanning, and have either attachments or accessories, or built-in features, that allow them to scan an entire roll of film automatically. That means there's no need to hang around the scanner while the scanning process is being completed.
We set a strip of six negs to be scanned and went out for lunch. You can do something else while scanning, so time is, IMO, a minimal concern. Scanning an entire roll of film can, indeed, be time consuming. But if you set the scanner to automatic, you can be doing something else. Likewise for burning the CD.
