Thank you, Tim,
I verified that it takes about 3 minutes for me to reindex the entire 43000+ tracks library in a samba share from another raspberry on the LAN where my USB disk is attached: this is more than good enough for me!
So I do not really the "update folder" any more.
As a nice bonus monitoring the MPD log while reindexing, I spotted 10-15 "special characters" at the end of folder names (showing as a little square when accessing that folder on my Mac through Samba) that prevented the folder from being indexed correctly by MPD. All fixed removing the little "bastard" character at the end of the offending folders.
Thanks!
