Maybe it would meaningfull to fix strigi in that case, or make it smarter. It 
seems the biggest problem you have is the handling of large videos. I think 
what KFile did, and Strigi probably inherited is to try to calculate the 
length of MPEG videos. This can only be done by parsing the streams of the 
MPEG file, and was only supposed to be done when asks for more information 
about a file, not when something is scanning every file on the disk.
