You are right.

John,

<Of course, I don't see SDRAM or DDR speeding up DaveB's scanning either, anytime soon. The scanner itself and the scsi connection provide bottlenecks before it even gets to the 800 mhz/fast memory bus (rdr or sdr, take your pick).

You should see the difference in the other applications I'm running when I'm scanning something versus when I'm not. Ugh. The processor or processor+memory is slowing things down somehow.
