If you have set contentDir to multiple drive letters, you are scanning all files on all the listed drives, not just your albums. You will get better performance if you set a specific folder that contains only your albums.

If any of the drives you have entered are network drives, this will make scanning much slower. It's much better to use local drives or USB-attached drives. Many people run MinimServer on a NAS so that it has local access to the drives containing the music library.

To see how the scan is progressing, select 'Show log' from the minim icon and set the logging level to Verbose. This will produce a log message for each folder as it is scanned.
