Bug Description

I have added more than 8000 songs to my rhythmbox database.

When it starts, it scans all of the songs, which makes whole PC unresponsible for 40-50 seconds.

IMO it is unacceptable to have such an application behave like that. Finally, the point in using such jukebox is to easliy handle large collections.
