Yes, same here - takes an unreasonably long time juggling about
doing calibration really, but it always has.

It lengthens prescan time, but saves most of the scan time if you do the
prescan at 4000ppi. 'Scan' then just becomes a memory process, Vuescan does
not have to make another pass at the film.

OTOH I quite often prescan before deciding whether or not the frame merits
a scan, so more time is wasted if I decide not to bother.
