Also wanted to mention that you said the main bottleneck would be the saving of the files, because the tiff file gets larger and larger. I am not creating multi page tiffs. I am saving single page tiffs, so is the tiff file still getting larger with each scan, and if so can i free up the tiff file after each image is saved? How?

Thanks,
Dave
