I agree with mrn's post. Forget about how fast you should practice scales. Think about how slow you can play them. Getting the notes is the easy part. Work on consistency of sound from note to note. Work on making a really smooth legato. Work on proper hand position and efficient finger motion. When playing with articulations, work on efficient tongue motion. Spend lots of time on these and then every once in a little while, play your scales fast, just to demonstrate to yourself how much progress you've suddenly made.
