I've had a Scansnap S500 for over a year. Love the scanner, but the
Organizer is gumming up my CPU when it's open. I have a Thinkpad X31
with a Pentium M 1400, 1M RAM and Windows XP Pro. SP3. The Organizer
is set to OCR when the computer is idle.
On Task Manager, PfuSsOrg.exe normally uses 60% to 90% of the CPU.
I'd dispense with it and just user Explorer, but I like the
Organizer's background OCR feature. It's generally not the OCR that
seems to be using CPU power (capserve.exe is normally a modest user),
but the PfuSsOrg.exe itself--even when it's just open and nothing
seems to be going on.
I've just updated the Organizer to V3.0L13, and it's just as bad. I
can't think of any reason why this program should be chuggning away
this intensively just because it's open, when no OCR appears to be
going on (by the way, I've turned off the OCR feature altogether, and
it's just as bad). Before I toss it and just use Explorer, I'd
appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
