Most likely due to the inescapable exposure time constraints.

I've seen many people (not you) obsess with pure scan time, but it 
takes a given amount of time to expose the sensor elements, no escape 
possible unless one underexposes.

In general the integration time is long enough to not overstress the 
interface to the computer, unless USB 1.1 is involved or the interface 
needs to share bandwidth.

Finally, IR / ICE processing software will require lots of computer 
power, so a bottleneck may need to be sought there.
