See the SANE pages: http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html In general an own SCSI Card is better with most scanners. E.g. my Mustek SCSI Scanner shipped with a rather simple card with no interrupt. If I use this card, the load will increase to >6 when I scan. On parallel port scanners I am not able to give valuable comments.
