actually.... yes it does!  I run SlimServer on multiple machines.  All
the machines are a minimum of 2.8GHz up to 3.06GHz.  All my machines
have 1GB of RAM and large hard drives with more than enough space
remaining on each drive.  Everyone of my machines not only pegs the CPU
when scanning.  But also comes close just during normal operation, even
when Slim.exe is idle.  All of my machines are running the latest
version of Windows XP Pro with all the latest patches. All machines are
running SlimServer 6.3.0 - 8148

You might want to consider diving into the 6.5 builds.  I did this the
other day, and was pleasantly surprised - scanning went off and did
it's thing in it's own thread, the CPU didn't top out, and everything
went smoothly.  I didn't time anything (I will do if anyone wants it),
but the *experience* was good - better than with 6.3.1.  Which is the
point, right?
I also added a few albums last night, making sure that the modified
dates were the current time, then told SS to scan for new/modified
music.  Again, it was non-intrusive, took around 3 minutes, and that
was sorting through a library of 1200 albums.  My machine is 2.3GHz
1GB, with XP Pro.

If you do go that way, of course make sure you have a way back :)

Cheers
Geoff
