I'm trying to streamline my library to reduce update times, but I don't really know what affects it. I'm putting all TV shows in a single folder per show name, but for some of them I have an "Extras" folder that has extra videos, artwork, or information that I want to keep, and keep with the TV show, but that Kodi never will (or will need to) be able to scrape from the web. Is Koki spending time on them every time a library update is performed?

It might if you haven't altered your advancedsettings.xml with something like
</excludefromlisting>
<excludefromscan action="append">
<regexp>/extras/</regexp>
<regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>
</excludefromscan>
<excludetvshowsfromscan action="append">
<regexp>/extras/</regexp>
<regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>
</excludetvshowsfromscan>
This will cause a quick skip over anything with the folder named 'extras'.
