Hi,

I just upgraded my Mac Mini from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.5.

I run my music library off a 400GB freecom external USB2 HDD, and on
Tiger it would scan the ~6000 FLAC tracks in about 5 minutes.  Now it
takes an hour.  At first I thought it was the USB2/USB1 problems that
some people have reported in Leopard, but I tried simply transferring
some files from the external to the Mini hdd and 20GB transferred in 15
mins which is about right.  I tried changing the music library to those
files on the Mini hdd and they scanned at the speed I would expect.

This makes me think that Leopard is the problem, but only when scanning
my music library on the external USB2 drive.

Anyone else had similar symptoms?  Would changing FAT32 to HFS+ help? 
Would a firewire drive definitely be quicker?

Thanks in advance,
Al
