Why is Emby slower at library scanning than Plex and Jellyfin?

I am a Plex user with a library of 53 series and it scans them in 15 minutes, I switched to Jellyfin and the same, very fast. I have installed Emby for testing and the same library and identical server and it is not able to identify and finish scanning. Why does it happen on Emby? Plex and Jellyfin are faster.

workaround use strm files. .scans little quicker. Think emby probes too much IMO.. but then again plex probes just as bad i as i seen it take weeks to scan in 1k movies. and 200 shows.
