I changed it to 0 scan interval, restarted the computer and now it

What gives?
What about leaving at alone for a while, until it completes the first
scan?
I have no idea how long it will take to 50,000 tracks (depends on where
the files are, etc)
Have you ever run the server from a command prompt and just watched
what was going on?
Do you have a large number of long playlists?
If you do watch, you should see that it goes through songs fairly
slowly. This is allowing for the parse to loop, letting other parts of
the server run for a while between each song. If you see it stall the
scan for any very long period, that may be a clue as to what might be
slowing things down. The iTunes XML parsing is done entirely through
reverse engineering. Yes, much can be done with standard xml parsers,
but Apple is not afraid of tossing in a few not-entirely standard
digressions from your garden variety xml.
it would be very useful to track it down. even if you can manage to
match some particular portion of the log to a cpu spike, it may give us
more clues.
