avery,

the scan is to get all folders to put inotify watches on them

if you have a huge number of directories (10,000+) then it will take
several minutes to get all subdirs

the index delay setting in seconds in the preferences determines when
this scan happens so you could set this to a very high value

for the general case I suppose if the number of directories is large
then we could sleep a bit whilst retrieving them to give disk IO to
other apps.

trackerd runs with disk IO scheduled (best effort 7) so it should give
priority to other apps but perhaps that does not work so well in this
case?
