Hi Sean,<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Sun, 29 Mar 1998 16:36:45 -0700, Sean Reifschneider &lt;<a href="mailto:jafo@tummy.com">jafo@tummy.com</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Sean&gt; In the last 3 years and hundreds of copies of our software on<br>
Sean&gt; Linux, I don't recall even ONE complaint about the scanning<br>
Sean&gt; speed.<br>
<p>
Try a Mustek scanner for example. HP scanners are much better behaved<br>
than most of the el-cheapo scanners. E.g., with my Mustek scanner,<br>
increasing scan buffer size by a factor of 4 will decrease color scan<br>
times by a factor of four (scan time is dominated by the number of<br>
backtracks the scanner has to do due to a full scan buffer).<br>
<p>
But I agree it's bad taste to ship pre-compiled binaries assuming a<br>
128KB kernel buffer. The real problem is that the Linux kernel<br>
doesn't allow to determine what the limit is. I'll see whether we<br>
could have that fixed for Linux 2.2.<br>
