This appears to be *just* what I needed!

I'm still ripping and scanning new music frequently, but the extra
30-45 minutes added by MIP to every single scan was discouraging.  Just
now, a new/changed scan took a grand total of 4 minutes - much, much
better! (And the new tracks appear to be mixable, so it's not as though
MIP is being left out of the loop completely.)

It took a little while to get there though.  As scans were so slow, I'd
unset the Music Folder (seemed to add time for no gain); so after adding
an album with your modded MIP plugin, the rescan didn't find it.  When I
restored my Music Folder, SC immediately started a full scan - which
took ages!  But the first new album after that was much better.

My ripping process is:

- rip album, calculate replaygain, add artwork
- run MIP GUI, let it find and analyse new tracks
- archive the analysis for new tracks
- close the GUI
- open the MIP server webconsole and reload the cache
- do a new/changed scan in SqueezeCenter

I'm running SC 7.1, as 7.2 went weird on me.  Presumably if I try 7.2
again, I'll have to replace the MIP plugin again... ?
