I just tried out the scan command, and I'm quite impressed with it's ability to determine what packs I have. I believe throughout the entire scan it made two mistakes, the first one was that it believed I had In the pants (no videos), and the second was it didn't identify one of the SS Styles (I believe it was SS 22nd style). The second mistake is probably due to that particular pack having no unique song or something similar, and I'd imagine the first mistake comes from perhaps the unique song used from that pack also being some sort of single release I might have picked up a few years back. Although considering that I have close to 400 packs installed, it nailed pretty much everything that I had without any serious issues.
According to a quick ping, I'm about 94ms from the server connection wise. For it to scan close to 400 packs, it took about ~3-4 minutes, which I didn't feel was too bad considering the sheer size of my pack set (although compared to you it seems very slow, but as you said, you are so close to the server). I would imagine the average person here on SMO wouldn't have more than 75-100 packs unless they were trying to collect them, so it would probably take less than a minute for most at my speeds.
Putting some suggestions in spoiler tags since they don't directly pertain to the questions you asked.

[spoiler]I noticed that at the end of the scan, there are no real details shown by the server in regards to how much was actually recorded. It would be nice to see some statistics show up after scanning (or after successive scans for that matter) for various things. Perhaps something along the lines of:
SMO has found you have X packs installed, and has recorded them.
SMO has found you have installed X more packs since the last scan, and has added them to your list.
Since people might potentially remove packs from their lists over time, I feel that there should be an additional scan command that would force a rescan and remove the current database recordings of a users packs. That way if people have packs they removed, the database doesn't think they still have them, and list them as such to others. It might also be a decent idea for the server to tell users when it has been a while since their last full rescan (like over a month or so) so people remember to do it if they removed packs from their roster (or a quick scan if they just added a few and forgot).[/spoiler]
