I know what you propose won't work. Ok. If solutions A and B don't work this doesn't mean there exists no third solution. It's not my job to propose a solution anyway, it's the job of a SANE-programmer. My job is the telling the discrepancy between the wanted and observed behaviour. You

Renicing saned doesn't renice xsane automatically. Renicing one process influences only the future children. So your note is irrelevant. Look at setpriority(...) and/or sched_yield(). Good example for any of the saned copies: if(number_of_read_bytes==0) sched_yield();

If you suppose that my suggestion is not applicable, it's not a reason to close the bug. 100% slowdown is a bug. What solutions are applicable and what are not applicable is a different question. ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most

What you are saying is that it costs too much to fix the slowdown and my solutions are not good because of some reasons I have no idea of. This is your explanation for your unwillingness to fix it. Well, I have to accept that. However, having or not having time resourses on your side is

Nobody requires the behaviour to be generalized to other scanner drivers and other scanner. To claim that something is a bug, it suffices to give one counterexample of bad behaviour, for one configuration. Here is one. (Well knowing that MS Windows allowed even a faster scanning, even many

Package: xsane Version: 0.99+0.991-2 I turned on the local scanner, put some sheet of paper into in, started xsane. Looked with ps aux on the process list and saw saned there. Then I started acquring a preview of a A4 sheet of paper. Looking of the list of processes with top, I noticed two
