how to speed up the scanner scanning speed

I have a HP G4010 USB 2.0 Scanner connect to a Windows XP Sp3 computer. In the past 1 month, it take much longer time to warm up & also it take much longer to scan document. (Assume it is the same document).

I did disk cleanup, defrag but no luck, so come here to look for some better solutions.

There may be competition on the USB adapter to which the scanner is attached.  If the scanner is attached to a USB adapter that also handles the keyboard, the mouse, a wireless adapter, or any other USB device, the bandwidth available to the scanner is reduced.

If ultimate speed is required, the scanner should probably be attached to its own PCI USB adapter.  This is inexpensive and quick to implement.  If that does not improve scanning speed, then investigation of software bottlenecks in the system should follow.
