If everything runs proper, it takes about a second per disc. It can take upto 30 seconds per ablum depending on how easily the ablum is match on MusicBrainz. It takes my library of approximently 2hrs 2000 disc(25000 tracks) which is about 3.6 seconds per album which is not that bad. If problems happen(ie MusicBrainz is over loaded) the script waits 5 seconds(and repeats the try 5 times if needed)
Also if you don't have your music sorted out in the following fashion, cdARTs and CoverARTs are quite useless to you:
Album
------tracks.mp3
to get the best use of everything the following layout is suggested.
Artist
------>Album
--------------->track.mp3
------>Album
--------------->track.mp3(or any othe music extention)
Artist
------>Album
--------------->track.mp3
You can keep the Artist Logos and fanarts out of this area by setting the 'Path to music library' to an Artwork folder(set this in both the skin and the script)

At the moment yes it does. I am trying to work out the best method of allowing to update but it is not as simple as one might think...
