If you decide to do so, Mp3tag will in fact automate the embedding of
artwork so long as your artwork has consistent naming.  Just load in a
folder(s) and select:

ask you for the artwork name format

IIRC (you'll need to confirm), you can force LMS to pick up
"new/changed" artwork files by updating the timestamp on at least one
music file in that folder.  Just load a file into Mp3tag and "resave". 
If you try this, please post back here with results.

BTW, my library is of similar size to yours and a full rescan takes ~20
minutes.  Server is Atom-based, Win XP.  LMS is 7.7.2.
