Would it help to be able to disable album art? I'm missing album art for 95% of my music anyway, so it doesn't help. Or is MediaBox scanning each of my thousands of files to ensure they are all still on the disk?

Indeed, scanning for album art is the culprit as it's looking for embedding album art if no image files are found.
The problem clearly shows when having lots of albums without cover art.
I'm trying to come up with a better solution.
