    Bernhard,
    There is an linux kernel issue with the sane_1.0.2/sg_2.1.38/sym53c416
    combination. Trying going to:
    http://www.torque.net/sg
    and get the sg_2.1.39 tarball from the table and building it. That should
    cure your problem. [If you look in your log (/var/log/messages) you will
    probably find some nasty oopses corresponding to those pauses.]

    Please tell me if that cures your problem.

    For those it don't like rebuilding their kernel or modules, defining the
    environmental variable SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE to 32768 will also
    fix this problem.
