Yes, I do have several playlists that have hundreds of tracks (and a
very few with thousands).  When I installed LMS 8.1, I left the default
iTunes import plugin 'Ignored playlists' names in place (Library,
Videos, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Purchased, Rented Movies, Downloaded).
But I had none listed at all in 7.9, so that's sending everything, and
all previous screengrabs will have reflected that difference in
settings. The interesting thing there, is the faster of the two rescans
so far was the version that doesn't have any iTunes playlists ignored
(7.9), and that 8.1 takes longer even though it filters out a standard
set of playlist names. 

I've just aligned the iTunes plugins' 'Ignored Playlists' in 7.9 to be
the same as 8.1 for all my future comparisons including the next
screenshots.  Here's how I have it set now in 7.9 and 8.1:
34804

I made a note to myself earlier this week to check what other default
playlists are in iTunes and to update this plugin to remove them - but
guess that would only save a matter of seconds or minutes in my overall
rescan times now I've turned off 'Build full text search index'?

Latest comparisons are with Build text search index plugin turned off in
both installations.  Clear/rescan times in both are quicker. LMS 8.1 in
Docker is now the faster of the two - and *three hours* quicker that it
had been! Here's the info:

*LMS 7.9 from Synology DS218+ Package Centre* - total time 37:08
34805

*LMS 8.1 (Synology DS218+ Docker Container)* - total time 32:50
34803

I'll try a new/changed rescan in both versions this evening to see how
they compare.

It'd be interesting to know what's causing the slow building of the text
search index within Docker (to potentially help out others with the same
problem), but I honestly think just turning that plugin off is my
personal solution, as the default search options in LMS look absolutely
fine to me!

Thanks for all the info and advice so far everyone!

Andy
