  <title>Scanning is slow</title>

  <p>The time required to scan a folder or a remote location depends on the
  speed of the media you're scanning. For instance a mechanical hard drive will
  be slower than a SSD, and scanning a remote directory over Internet will
  generally take longer than scanning a folder over a local network.</p>

  <p>The speed also depends on the depth of the directory structure and the
  number of files stored.</p>
