I just leave Vuescan to do a strip, once I have previewed, cropped,
rotated and filenamed the .tifs. Mind you I have to make sure that I
have switched off the separate display sleep in OSX, otherwise
Vuescan and the OS cannot decide whether to sleep or not!
I use a Canoscan FS4000 connected with SCSI to a 733Mhz G4 (allegedly
around 1.5GHz PC equivalent speed) with 1Gb RAM. It takes ages to do
all the little extras - about 10 minutes for 4 frames - but I can
make tea and sandwiches while I am waiting :>).

Another datum: Nikon LS-30 Coolscan III (SCSI), no ICE, same full frame
OM-shot E-6 transparency scanned at 2700 dpi:
NikonScan 3.1 - 23 s either standalone or using import function directly
from Photoshop 6.0
Vuescan 7.5.69 - 56 s to scan, approximately 20 seconds to store TIF and
open in Photoshop.
Run on an AMD Athlon XP+ 1700 with 1 gig SDRAM, running Win 2k Pro, all
other applications closed.
I was surprised at the results; I use both programs to scan (depending on
the slide/negative) and had failed to notice the disparity in scanning time.
I still like Vuescan, and it often produces better scans (it did for this
example). Only with release 3 has Nikonscan become a usable piece of
software; 2.5 was horrid.
