For some, in some situations. Depends on skill level and equipment. With one of the Nikon scanners I used, I's set a roll of film into the feeder and go do something else - eat lunch, make phone calls, cook - whatever. Once the negs were scanned the amount of time required to edit and process each frame seemed to have been about the same, although, admittedly, spotting could sometimes take some extra time. Digital Ice helped eliminate a lot of that. I will agree that scanning can sometimes take longer than loading a GB of files from a card, but depending on one's work flow that time can be put to other uses. IMO, it's almost a toss-up, at least with my work flow and available equipment. IOW, I don't think so broad-based a generalization holds true.
