Martin, I think your problem is with the Mixed Tag scanning module.

How large is your library ?

Have you tried to see if the problem only occured at the first scanning
or every time you scan ? 
The reason for this question is that there was a bug in the previous
Custom Scan release that I think can cause the first scanning after the
upgrade to take longer time.

With a large library, the Mixed Tag scanning module can take some time.
It is currently optimized for performance which can cause drop-outs. The
problem is that it is not possible to run it in the background as a
separate process as the standard SlimServer scanning does so I can
basically choose from:

1. Get it to work without drop-outs, the result would be that it takes
longer time and the web/player interface would basically be unusable
for a long time.
2. Get it to work as fast as possible with the risk that it causes
drop-outs during the scanning.

At the moment I have chosen to implement it as 2, which I feel is the
best since scanning doesn't occur that often for most people.  I think
there might be some small improvements which is possible to implement,
but I'm not sure it will solve the drop-outs problem in a large
library.
