I'm having severe speed issues when trying to perform the Clean Database on my TV library (40k episodes). It takes well over half an hour just to complete this operation. I know everyone won't have such volume but it should also be manifesting as a slow process for other users. The issue is with the algorithm which takes each episode at time and checks the disk to see if the file is physically still there, causing multiple disk reads.

This could be improved significantly by rewriting the way this works. By reading a folder contents once then performing the checking against the contents of the folder rather than the other way around, vastly reducing disk access.

I could rewrite this routine myself if there's a branch available?
