Now I understand a little bit better what is going on in my scanner.
Obviously it is the small buffer size, even in the case of grey-scale
scanning, that causes the drastic slow down when the scan width exceeds
a certain limit.
BTW, would it be possible to split the image horizontally into
two (or more) narrower and scan these subsequently ?
Or will this trick cause an little offset between the lines because the
vertical positioning is not absolutely the same ?
