Ofoto is ***slow***!!! I am amazed at how slow Ofoto is. It takes it about 4x as long to scan a page at 300dpi as OmniPage (in image mode). (Note, these are the only two points of comparison that I have.) It takes 2 to 4 times as long to print a bitmap as Canvas (on a Postscript laserwriter). Maybe if I had a Mac IIfx, it would be ok, but on a plain-old-II, it's a real dog! (Note: I do agree that the feature set is nice, but someone has to work on de-pessimizing the code to make the performance acceptable.) -- =Spencer W.
