Duplicate Scheduled task scan per library

[kufkis 4]

The TLDR of this post is that I would like to have a scheduled scan task per library because 2 libraries only need to be scanned at application startup (and then idle down) but the 3rd library needs live monitoring.  The problem is that when I enable real time monitoring for my "always on" library, emby will basically DOS (denial-of-service) the server.

CPU:  51% usr   9% sys   0% nic  37% idle   1% io   0% irq   0% sirq
Load average: 0.96 0.94 0.84 
54% /system/EmbyServer -programdata /config -ffdetect /bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3

When I simply disable "enable real time monitoring" for that library and setup a scheduled task to scan my library at 1 minute intervals, the server load decreases immensely.

CPU:   0% usr   0% sys   0% nic  98% idle   0% io   0% irq   0% sirq
Load average: 0.14 0.20 0.22 
0% /system/EmbyServer -programdata /config -ffdetect /bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3

 

The new problem that this creates is that my large archived libraries on my 6TB drives will always be spinning now and not idling down like they do when I schedule my library scans for startup only and have my smaller library drive set to real time monitoring. 

My request is If I could keep my scheduled task to scan my entire library at startup but also have a scheduled interval scan setup only for the smaller "always on" library so my large archive libraries can idle down instead of spinning 24/7.

Everything works as it should when I use the "real time monitoring" feature only for my smaller archive but running my emby server under load just for this single feature is not preferable.
