Well, I run a collection of approx 10,000 tracks on an XP box with 1gb ram and a rescan (including MIP integration) takes 18 mins. However, I run Squeezecenter on a dedicated, headless box with no other significant processes. Also, my music is stored on the same physical drive as Squeezecenter, so no external hard drives (which slow the process down quite a bit I believe).
Have you tried upping the server priority in Squeezecenter? Do you have an on-access virus scanner installed? This may also be responsible for chewing up your CPU as it will monitor every file access that SC makes on a recan. I would shut down all non-essential processes (inc virus scanners, internet connection etc) and initiate a rescan. Does that speed up the process significantly? -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)? "-Siduhe Loved Tracks radio got the thumbs up.
