   pictures from the scanner.  It saves as PBM files that you will have to
   convert with xv or something like that.  One BAD thing is that the scanned
   picture files are HUGE!  A full A4 color scan was about 68 megabytes and

Use Jef Poskanzer's PBMplus or NETpbm utilities.  I believe they do
sensible buffering.  If not, you've got source; do it yourself.  OR
create a bleeding' big swapfile ;-)
