The discovering files part is the quick part, its just reading the directories and comparing the filenames and timestamps with its own database. (if you do a rescan it doesn't have its own database yet!) THEN it goes in and actually reads the files that it thinks are new (everything with a rescan) and extracts the tags and artwork. This part can take much longer. Then it goes through and deals with artwork, again this can take quite awhile.
Embedded artwork is not a problem per se, but it is easier to have large images which can crash the scanner, you have to use a program to check for image size. The other issue is purely time. If you embed the same image in all tracks of the same album the scanner has to spend a lot more time dealing with all those images. A single cover.jpg and no embedded images is faster to process during the scan.
