The library scanning is much more CPU intensive than it was before. My collection of ~6k songs takes about 6 or 7 minutes to scan on a P4, 3.4GHz with 1GB RAM. Scaling that up to your music library size and CPU speed and it seems about right. This will happen at startup the first time, but it shouldn't need to do it again unless you've added music.
