When I was on Windows XP with a 2.8 GHz P4, 512 MB RAM, I could scan ~100 GB of music (3500-some-odd tracks, mostly FLAC) in about 5 minutes. This is a clear-and-rescan scan though, but it actually doesn't take that much longer than a look-for-new-and-changed rescan.
Now that I'm on Ubuntu Linux with a Core 2 Duo E6600 and 2 GB of RAM, 136 GB of music, 4500 tracks, takes 3 minutes. It's probably not the hardware improvement, it's that scanning on Linux is faster. Even scanning this collection over my LAN takes about 7 minutes. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
