This is a great idea! I'm planning to set up a distributed system with a central database. I'm interested in how CPU usage looks on my old and weak server.
I was initially looking into breaking the video/music library parts out from the XBMC source to create an external utility to update the XBMC library, but quickly found out that it was way too much work. This is a much simpler (though not optimal, as pointed out) temporary solution that, provided it's not too much of a system resource hog, works well until hopefully some day a better approach is in place.
Looking forward to testing it out! I'll report my findings on system resources once I've had the chance to test it out on my (linux) server.
