So has the root cause been determined ? I have tried
scanning ppt files on my system and did not see any
slowness. Maybe this is file specific ???

 For camparison, a random 3 meg .pdf file scanned in under a second.

 Is this normal, expected, a known issue, or should I be looking for a

Known issue. :( I posted on it last year with no particular
resolution. As well as Office formats it appears to afflict large XML
files too. e.g.

Your disk is slow or don't scan large files is a common response.

I'm running into issues where (so far as I can tell) .ppt files can take a 
long time to scan. As an exmaple, I have a 2.8 meg 5 slide .ppt file that 
takes 90 seconds to scan on an otherwise-quiet 1.5ghz Athlon.
