Well, under Windows95 it usually never did backtracking. When it did,
it only backed up half the number of times it does with sane. This
was with the little cheap controller it came with too.
There had got to be a way to get it as fast as under Windows. My scanner
is backtracking every half inch sometimes. Under Win95 it always moved at
least a couple of inches before backtracking.
