So I enabled Beta in the Package Center and installed 7.9.0-164 from there. LMS was immediately much more responsive, the difference was like day and night. However, a full scan still took over 7 hours. One difference that I noticed though was that on 7.7.6, during the scanning something was constantly writing to my drives, which didn't strike me an unusual until i noticed that 7.9.0 didn't do this at all.
One difference between 7.9 and earlier version is the default value for memory usage of the database. 7.9 tries to use larger buffers by default, depending on your hardware. What CPU and memory do you have?
On both versions, it seems to me the scanning starts out fine, 1'000 albums per 5-10 minutes, and then after some 3'000 albums it starts to stall.
If you have more than 1GB of RAM, then you should try to set the DB memory usage to maximum (Settings/Advanced/Performance). The numbers you post are pretty similar to what we found when working on the scanner performance. And using "Maximum" rather than the "High" makes a real difference with collections of 50k or more tracks.
