I personally don't have an issue with my long scan times. I have already resigned to the fact that it takes me about 2 days to scan my library. My RAID is defragmented on a regular basis by PerfectDisk and I am aware of my bloated MP3s and the metadata contained therein i.e., album review for the COMMENT, embedded JPG album covers, and data for ALBUM ARTIST as my MCE needs this info to discern compilation albums from "regular" albums. I understand the process for parsing the metadata, and as I said, I have already surrendered the effort for efficiency. I had always had this battle with my library and SlimServer's scan times and had posted my "then issues" eons ago as my library, at the time, was unusually "large".
