[filmscanners] Re: scanning times

["Bob Frost" <bob@frost.name>]

Tomek,

My LS4000 scanner (with CM off, ICE on normal, 14 bit, 1x) took 1 min 10
secs to scan and save the raw file. To scan that raw file in Vuescan
(7.5.36) and output a tif file in 48 bit, color-corrected, took 32 secs.

I had not realised that there would be such a difference with the computer.
I have just built a Pentium 4 2.0a MHz, with 1GB memory, and 2 x 130 ATA
Maxtor striped disks with a MSI 845 UltraARU motherboard, which was very
fast 6 months ago, and now is not-so-fast!!
