After an initial scan, record a file's name, checksum, and time scanned.
On rescan,
If a file's checksum hasn't changed from time scanned {
Scan it with the DB sigs that have changed since then
else
Scan it like it does now
( with everything in the DB, I assume. )
}
Although, I'm known for coming up with hair brained ideas, so this one might
go to /dev/null
