Great - I'll try it out.

I have a secondary server set up using noweb-sqlite.  Will try comparing 
performance when I get the same library content in both servers.

I will need to disable plugins in my main server for memory/speed performance 
comparisons.

It's not just performance - I rely on some third-party plugins that won't work 
with SQLite.

I thought the compiled scanner were the main reason for faster scanning.  Other 
people have posted that performance is worse.

Better/more important performance tests will be to run searches, browse album 
lists, etc.  I'm not too bothered about scanning performance (or I wasn't when 
it was a separate process).

I tried some; didn't work too well.  I saw the Firefox plugin one, and saw it 
wasn't maintained any more.  Seemed a bit bizzarre.  I guess it's because 
firefox bookmarks used to be stored in a SQLite DB (but the format has changed?)

I've raised several bugs about this sort of issue in the past, so I can try 
them out to see if they are now fixed.  Some may require schema changes.

Great.  Not turned on for Windows though?  Is there a way to enable it?

Okay, will try it out.  I'm fine with it being in-process for the full rescan 
(wipe) case, because I normally don't play local music until it's finished 
(typically full-rescan overnight).  Playing music when scanning can mess up 
library, as playing a song invokes the scanner too. i.e. because it may not yet 
have merged various artists, etc.
