The artwork for gallery view is processed as part of the scan as this  
greatly reduces the wait for loading gallery view if the server has to  
check for 50 albums worth of artwork each time you load the page. A  
single album track list uses artwork that is found in real time as it  
only needs to look for one image.   At one point, this would update  
the gallery thumbnails, but this created problems when users  
deliberately had no artwork, and for certain cases of file formats and  
artwork filename settings.

The server resizes and caches the thumbnail images, so you only need a  
single image per album.
