The vacuuming makes a big difference to custom browse using custom scan

Did you check the file sizes before and after vacuum?

I've been running with a buffer of 100MB.  It seems that even custom
scan times are considerably improved, from around 3 hours for a full
scan to about 2 hours.  Can this be my imagination?

Did you only change the buffer size? I've seen reports of both, changing it to to worse and the better... but I thought it wouldn't have any impact on the scan at all, as the buffer size is not applied in the scanner :-).

As I did see some slower scanning with larger buffers, I'll have to investigate this further.

I tried with and without the indexes and can't say I've notice any
difference (and I assume they get rebuilt anyway after a full rescan).

No, they are not rebuilt on a rescan. You'd have to delete the library.db or use the button in this plugin.

One question:  Does the auto-vacuum setting 'stick' or not?  I haven't
done enough trials to quite understand how this is expected to work.  If
I tick it and Apply, the tick disappears.

Yeah, that UI isn't really clear. Quite obviously I didn't pay much attention to it. The plugin started as a simple UI for myself to enable/disable auto_vaccum. I didn't think it would evolve from there...
