When I have a good rythim going, I can do typical paged books at 300dpi at about 10 seconds per "side" (meaning from the time one scan starts to the next scan starts, including time flipping pages) on my Opticbook.
That's for both sides. In FineReader, it's just a checkbox to turn on duplex scanning. You feed it through like normal. The page going through the scanner is the same, just FineReader takes a bit longer to read both sides of a duplex scan vs. a simplex scan.

Yeah, if you have smaller text, a higher dpi is good. 300dpi is fast, but when turned up to 600dpi (the recommended for small text), it is noticeably slower. Still, feeding through a stack of pages and duplex scanning is the ultimate in ease.
