Well - I doubt the mustek will resume precisely enough (re-positioning with
1200dpi reolution at the presence of mechanical parts seems non-trivial to
me) and it is already quite slow.

However something a simple as decreasing the SCSI-buffer-length (or rather
the requested length) might do the trick.
