On my previous PC, a Pentium II - 350MHz, it was faster to save the TIFF file
without compression. Apparently the compression took some time. With the
check box ticked for compression the files were about 30% smaller was my
experience.
I use Vuescan both on Windows and on the same PC on Linux. Works great.
