Ok.  I checked the status indicator under Albums and sure enough it
correlates with the unresponsiveness of the app.

However, perhaps I was inpatient and may have turned the iPad off or it
turned itself off during the sync process.  I timed it this morning at 8
minutes instead of the estimates above.  However, waiting 8 minutes for
the first use FEELS like an hour.

I'm tempted to get a faster server, maybe one with an i3 processor. 
Any other ideas?  

I guess I don't have to sync every night especially if it's going to
affect iPeng and I don't really put new music in every day.  I can just
rescan manually when I add music.
