You'll understand when/if your Plex media library grows so large that every rescan takes a week.

I currently have 10Tb of 1080p content and rescans takes a few seconds. The only thing that actually takes time is the intro detection on new content, but it's because I don't have a lot of compute power on the server hosting my Plex instance.

I just checked: my "com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" is 24Mb. Meanwhile, I have some custom apps with SQLite db's that are >10Gb and I don't have performance issues.

So I don't see how big a library have to be for its db to become a bottleneck?

That would be considered a small library compared to what silo is designed for.

dear lord, what kinda size are you talking about? in terms of TB/# of shows/files?

PB.
