<i>&gt; Hello Theo,</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; a little add-on to this topic.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Yesterday I measured the exact scanning times (in grey-scale mode, 8bit,</i><br>
<i>&gt; with 300 dpi). The threshold value for icreased time consumption is</i><br>
<i>&gt; between a scan width of 1150 and 1175 pixels. </i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; A value above 1175 takes approx. 13 (thirteen!) times more time !!!</i><br>
<i>&gt; eg. window size 1150 x 200 = 5 sec</i><br>
<i>&gt; 1175 x 200 = 65 sec !!</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Scanning the whole A4 sheet this way would take more then 20 min.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Or am I doing something completely wrong ?</i><br>
<p>
Things to do: <br>
<p>
- find an answer to the question: "Is that limit (1150) resolution <br>
dependent?"<br>
- expected answer: Yes. In fact the limit is when an area of xxx <br>
inch height exceeds yyy bytes. <br>
<p>
- It would be highly beneficial for SANE to adopt a partial scan <br>
approach. The problem is, that scanned files can become enormously<br>
humongous. Buffering in the driver would then be neccesary, requiring<br>
extraordinary amounts of data.<br>
(A4 @ 600DPI @ 24bpp == 100Mb. Taking two passes requires 50Mb<br>
of "temp" space.....)<br>
