Yes, connected over a network via USB2 from an NSLU2, rescanning is when
you'd notice the slowdown.
You don't need internal IDE/SATA speeds when you're serving music, but
rescan needs as much speed as possible. Lots of I/O requests,

A CUE sheet is generally used for burning a CD, giving the proper gaps
