This is by design. Shotwell isn't scanning for new files, it's
scanning to verify that you're existing files are still in place. It
also establishes file monitoring of those files, to update the library
if they're deleted or renamed.
You can disable this startup scan by running Shotwell like this:
$ shotwell --no-runtime-monitoring
There has been a lot of requests to make this a configurable option, or
to remove it entirely. That's ticketed at
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3130 I also added this to the FAQ:

Good morning,
I'm using Shotwell 0.15.0; I set the preferences in order to not
check if
there are new files into the library at startup, but Shotwell do it
in any
case. Is this a bug?
Thank you
Martino
