I have the same setup.  I mount a samba share with all my MP3s.  Like I
said, I have nearly 30GB of 'em.  I've had to rebuild the database several
times.  Now, if I ever have to run a fresh music scan (rebuilding the DB)
I do it at night when I'm about to go to sleep :)  Good news is, now that
frontend is separate from backend, you should be able to run another
instance of frontend if you need to.  That way, you can still use the
other components (mythtv, gallery, game, etc.).

Keep in mind, you won't need to wait this long EVERY time you launch
mythmusic :)
