600 resolution quite slow with my 1236S Snapscan?

    I just updated my Debian system, but having never tried higher resolutions, I
    decided to have a look around. xsane, although it has a button to enable
    resolution, it doesn't seem to do anything. I used xscanimage, from gimp, set
    the resolution to 600, and it took over 30 minutes to scan a CD cover! At 300,
    it takes less than one second. Same with xsane. Either way, the results seemed
    similar, I was just wondering why double the resolution should take so long? In
    Windows, 2400 scans faster than this. I'm sure 2400 is probably overkill, but I
    was just wondering.

    Cheers,
