Just going from work experience. Maybe "slow to a crawl" is a bad analogy. If I'm scanning in anywhere from a few to several hundred pages, I can't do anything else on my system as its sending its data to the SQL server and processing the images. You try and do anything, and the program crashes. Probably just written poorly by the company who does our data system. While it's working on processing, I just have to sit there and wait. It's really aggravating.
