  xscanimage always comes up quickly for me. The Win32 driver actually
  knows when the scanner is warming up and it displays a count down for 14
  seconds. I'm guessing there is some kind of SCSI command asking the
  scanner to warm up. Or maybe the driver just sends command and waits for
  a while if the scanner is sleeping and just returning 'default' values
  to commands. I should be able to experiment tonight...
