There's an odd Windows "anomaly" where after a system time change, all
of file date/times reported by the operating system will have changed. 
If you pay attention this can even be seen in Windows Explorer, where
file modification times will shift one hour following a daylight
savings time change.

Whenever SlimServer/SqueeeCenter accesses any music file on the server
it checks the file modification timestamp against what it has stored in
its database.  If it sees a difference, it will rescan the file and
update its database.  The effect this has is to cause a lot of
unnecessary overhead when browsing and playing the music library. 
Whether or not you see a slowdown in response times of either the
remote, web, or controller interfaces will probably depend on the speed
of your server.

So, IMO, it's a good idea to run a full clear/rescan following a
Daylight Savings time change if you're running SS or SC on a Windows
server.
