The background scan makes 2 passes. In the first pass only ID3
information are scanned (as before). Due to this you will get
cache entries for all songs very quickly but for now without
level information.
The second pass gathers level information. As the level scan
requieres complete decoding of the song, this may take a while.
If you leave the player running you will see the level
information appear one after another. The scan is completed when
a message "backroundscan idle" appears.

I think you system is perfectly fine.
