Once I moved all Movies into their own sub folders, MC ran a lot quicker. ( about 40 seconds).
I noticed that too. I keep movie files in the root of the movie folders (to easily discern what movies need an external subtitle) and refreshing takes a lot longer as folders gets bigger.
I ran some tests with a thousand video files along with their respective nfo and two image files.
All those files in a single folder takes 38 sec for refreshing, but 21 sec with the same files in 2 folders, 16 sec in 3 folders, 13 sec in 4 folders.
And refreshing 500 movies in a single folder takes 11 sec, but refreshing 1000 movies takes not 22 but 38 sec, and 98 sec for 1500 movies.

Yes, hope to see some progress in this area.
In the meantime, if anybody out there suffers the same issue, my advice is try to keep your files in a smaller, multiple folders.
