Alan, I actually found that with the right 'workflow', it was just as fast to film scan. And cheaper.
My ultimate solution to the problem was a lot more expensive. I bought a Nikon LS-4000 with the roll film adapter. I get the negatives returned uncut. Takes about 30-45 minutes to scan a roll at the smaller resolution, but I walk away while it is doing it.
