I've done what you suggested, which has led to a bit clean up of my music files (totally deleting all my album m3u files held in individual album directories, changing some remaining .cue files to .cue_ and adjusting a playlist or two that refernces non-existant music).
I've reached the conclusion that my problem is due to some very large playlists (some with 500 songs plus) coupled with a slow machine and the way that SlimServer scans playlists. It looks to me that whenever I add a new playlist and choose "Scan playlists only" SlimServer than rescans all my playlists, whether they have changed or not since the last scan. Due to this and my large playlists SlimServer ends up scanning a considerable proportion of my music library. I don't know how many people might find this a problem (not many have such an underpowered Slimserver machine as I do) but it strikes me that some timestamping would cure my problem. I.e. might it be a reasonable idea if SlimServer only scanned playlists that have been modified since it's last scan? If this happened I could make a playlist on my PC and then listen to it almost immediately downstairs on my hifi. Currently I have to wait a long time before I can do this. Is this a silly idea or might it be worth filing an enhancement? Again, thanks. BTW. How can I directly access the log file. I can't find it anywhere.
