Recognizing the 3-line issue with the 8000, 
Ed Hamrick coded up VueScan to *only* use 
1-line scans -- equivalent to Nikon's 
SuperFine scan mode.

I haven't done any timing comparisons between 
VueScan and NikonScan 3.1.  A 645 scan at 
4000 dpi, ICE off, 1x sampling takes about 2 
or 3 minutes with NikonScan.  I don't recall 
VueScan making it noticeably faster or slower.

I can say that installation of NikonScan 
3.1 under Windows 2K was flawless.  But I 
haven't done many scans yet under this OS.
