Maybe I misunderstand you, but if it means that some pages were omitted(not processed) - that is what drove me crazy when using this kind of scanner. Reintegrating the forgotten pages took too much time.
As far as workflow is concerned: do you know "pdfscissors"?

Maybe it is the wording
- 5 sheets out of 100 are being processed in a way that I have to rescan.
This may be due to
- sheets sticking together (rests of spine glue: I did not cut deep enough)
- major parts of the page are not readable (rescan with other brightness settings)
- scanner pulls sheets in slanted
In the meantime I control the sheets before I process them with the scanner. So I can detect sticked sheets easily. Sometimes the friction between the sheets is pretty high because of a rough surface. It always helps when I shake and reorder the pages before scanning so to make the sheets more "movable".
It is also important to arrange the pack of sheets in a "jagged" way to make the feeding easier.
I think the scanning mechanism is not to blame for the majority of problems.
