Thanks for your feedback.  Here are my answers.

No, it was chugging along at 5% to 15% CPU.

About 20,000 tracks.

Using 6.5.3 (nightly from May 29)

I went ahead and cleared the Custom Tags and Mixed Tags individually to
see if that helped.  The clearing process took an extremely long time,
so I concluded that there was either a problem when I installed 6.5.3
(over the top of 6.5.1) or that somehow my database had become
corrupted.  So I uninstalled SlimServer and re-installed.  I loaded
about 2400 tracks and was able to load Custom Scan 1.19 with no
problem.

I'm still new to SlimServer (been using it for only about 2 months). 
Could I have just deleted the database and done a re-scan to create a
new one?  Or did I indeed need to do a whole new install to start
fresh? I realize that I probably could have saved my preferences file
and copied it back rather than hunting around to re-set everything the
way I wanted.

I've been using the Last FM scan to collect the pictures that show up
on the Artist pages of the Custom Browse menus.  I'd much prefer to be
able to select my the pictures to use.  Is there a way that I could
create a file of artist pictures and have Custom Scan pick up those
pictures rather than the Last FM pictures?  I know I'd then have to
change the menu coding to point to a different source for the
pictures.

Thanks again for your help.
