Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
When I rebuild my collection, there's a process exploring my collection which takes around 250MB of RAM. I only have 512 MB so this really hinders the system's performance. In fact I left the room and when I came back, after using the touchpad, my screen didn't "turn on" until 5 or 10 minutes later.
I have around 20,000 tracks on an external hard drive (NTFS).

This is most likely not an issue with Amarok's scanner but with your NTFS driver. What NTFS driver are you using?
You should *NOT* be using Captive. If you are, stop using it immediately (besides extremely bad performance it can do bad things to your filesystem).
The best thing to do is install FUSE and use NTFS-3G. Let us know what your setup is like.
