Bug 514759

SUMMARY
When refereshing a collection (and probably when creating a new one), the Find new items action in the background tasks tray can take a very long time to even really begin. Using procmon, I figured that the process first scans every folder to then be able to have a useful progress bar.

The problem is that even this scan can take a long time and during this time, the progress stays at 0 until it completes giving the impression that nothing is going on. I thought, maybe, it could be more user frienfly to display the current folder, say, every 1 or 2 seconds if the tray is opened?

And, if I push my luck, maybe split the action in phases (Find new items [1/2 Discovery]: \\......) and add some kind of progress bar even for phase 1 that could fluctuate depending on what it finds (number of scanned folders / total actually discovered folder).

Also, maybe there is something to do with performance that could make this actual request less relevant... My personnal library is on a 1Gbps connection but right now, with the scan going on, my CPU is idling at 12%, my Ethernet link under 5Mbps and my NAS CPU under 40%.
