Re-scans of folders with little or nothing changed since the previous scan used to be MUCH faster before the 3200 & 3201 releases. Which is when I first noticed the increased scan times. 3201 is much better than 3200, but still not like prior releases.

A first time scan used to take a while, as expected, but the re-scans were much faster before.

For 100k I see that very reasonable. As it is dependent on storage speed where the file is and system resources. I dedicated 20 cores to Scan that speed things up a bit.

If you want compare MM speed test then Copy those 100k tracks to different folder on Same HDD and see how much it would take plain copy to work.

Yes, much improved.

Test folder contained 10,788 files and 3200 took 18 min 36 sec to scan. Same folder in 3201 now takes 3 min 28 sec.

The test folder is one I haven't changed anything in for quite sometime and the 18 min scan was a re-scan from a couple days earlier. I did not note the time on that first scan, but it's where I first noticed the scan time taking much longer.

This should be resolved in build 3201. Can you confirm that it works for you?

This is expexted due to a change how Artwork is scanned. This is still being fine tuned for a final 2024.2.1 release.

I'm also getting very slow scans in 3200, this was not happening in earlier betas. Used to be much, much faster.

It's me again

Due to some Google Drive antics on my files, I programmed MM 2024 to scan my files when I first open the program as you can see:

That first scan is taking now about one and a half hours. That's something never happened before.
I'm using MM 2024.2.1.3200

This is my database configuration:

EDIT: Returned to 2024.2.0.3184, and it does it quite faster (about less than 1 min). I'm going to stuck with it in the meantime.
