I'm having the same issue with my networked Brother MFC 440CN.

B&W scanning is very fast with Simple Scan, but color takes forever
(even at 300dpi setting).  It seems that Simple Scan is setting the
scanner to scan at the highest quality regardless of the DPI setting for
color, and it's causing the scanner to move the scan head back and forth
as it scans along.

XSane doesn't have this problem.

Title:
  Brother MFC-410CN scan over network excruciatingly slow

Status in Simple Scan:
  Incomplete
Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: simple-scan

  I have raised this bug against the simple-scan package, but suspect
  that this is a SANE problem (and am unsure of the SANE package against
  which it should be filed).

  My Brother MFC-410CN is set up as a network printer/scanner.  Simple
  Scan correctly detects the scanner on the network, but takes in excess
  of ten minutes to scan a single A4-sized area at 300 dpi.

  I don't believe the network itself to be the bottleneck, since
  hundreds of megabytes can be transferred between computers in a
  similar timeframe.
