A simple and intuitive calculation, based on the semiclassical approximation, demonstrates how the large size of a hadronic target introduces a new perturbative scale into the process of small-x deep inelastic scattering. The above calculation, which is performed in the target rest frame, is compared to the McLerran-Venugopalan model for scattering off large nuclei, which has first highlighted this effect in the infinite momentum frame. It is shown that the two approaches, i.e., the rest frame based semiclassical calculation and the infinite momentum frame based McLerran-Venugopalan approach are quantitatively consistent.
