Sane slow scan for scanners

Sane on linux can be very slow when starting up xsane, scanimage -L etc. The reason is that all scanners in /etc/sane/dll.conf are checked.

To speed things up

cd /etc/sane
cp dll.conf dll.conf.save
vim dll.conf

Remove all lines except for the scanner(s) which you are currently using.

Test it using scanimage -L and enjoy!
