The main bottleneck during a scan is disk I/O (see' this post' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?99783-LMS-scan-performance&p=757581&viewfull=1#post757581) for details (right column)) (unless you have a really weird setup e.g. low-end single core ARM CPU with a high speed SSD) After that, it's CPU (which you'll probably never hit in a normal setup) Memory isn't really important (since the scan mostly writes to the database, making caching impossible)
You could also try installing the DB Optimizer plugin, but I wouldn't expect much (if any) impact, as it's focused on improving run-time and not scan performance (plus one of the more interesting optimizations it enables is unavailable for Windows) Definitely exclude your music files from any antivirus scanning, though.
