Adopted! manual scanning it is
But i still don't understand why monitoring process takes that much time, and even more or less depending on how big the list currently in viewed is. Other media player do the same or similar task in less time. Its obvious that MM does not just search for new and changed files (modified date) in specified directories but more... - every time monitoring is triggered. Especially in the case of an unchanged media library its very annoying, i hope a developer reads this and rethinks the monitoring process!

thanks, bye

How it scans during monitoring depends on your scan settings under Tools > Options > Library.
