Some text after the "still scanning" message showing the number of
files found so far would be good.  Most people have a rough idea of how
many files are in their library.  Add a link to the detail page and give
this pass a name like the others.

Check out this bug report.  The reporter at first didn't think his scan
was doing anything at all, since it was taking more than twenty minutes
before his music database began to be populated.

At the time I was running SlimServer on a fast PC with the music store
sitting on my Infrant NAS, with a gigE network between them.  I'm not
sure we ever really figured out why it was so slow in that setup.  For
me, this stage of the scan was taking about 7:30, but the other fellow
had the same PC/NAS setup and reported 22:00 to find 30,000 tracks. 
This is from the log he posted in comment #11:

That would work.  Maybe a link on the main server settings page near
the rescan buttons.  Doesn't really matter so long as it's available. 
I suppose an enterprising plugin writer could also pull this info out
of the scanner.log and display data for as many scans as the log
contains.  There's also a 'rescans' table in the database that doesn't
look like it's being used - maybe Dan had plans to keep a history.
