If you want it to finish it's probably a good idea to disable the
scheduled rescan. There can only by one Custom Scan session running at
the time, so if the automatic SBS scan triggers before it's finished
the result will likely be that it runs slow and also that it tries to
trigger a second Custom Scan session at the end, which should cause
some warnings in the log if it happens before the first is finished.

What file formats do you have in your library ? FLAC ? MP3 ?
If you have multiple formats what does it mostly consist of ?

How does your Custom Tag scanning module configuration look like ? Are
you scanning a lot of extra tags or do you have any virtual tag mapping
configured in Custom Tag scanning module ?
Do you have a lot of custom tags in the music files ?

I think there are improvement potentials, the alpha has not been
optimized for full rescan it's main difference from the official
release is that it allows incremental rescan and hopefully doesn't
disturb music during full rescans triggered by a SBS rescan as these
runs within the scanning process.

I have a large simulated FLAC library which I can run it towards in my
own setup, the 100 000 track test library I made available here:
http://erland.isaksson.info/arkiv/flac_test_libraries/
I'll try to run it a bit in my own setup to see if I can see where the
time is spent. It's not completely accurate to a real library because
its dummy files are extremely small, but if the issue is related to the
database it should illustrate the same issues you are seeing.
