+### Please describe the problem.
+
+When the assistant starts it takes several hours to do the startup scan, even when there are no files to add.
+
+The repo contains many small files but it is configured to add the smaller ones via gitattributes. In particular there are: 91949 files added to git repo and 1029 annexed.
+This is my gitattributes
+
+    * annex.largefiles=(largerthan=500kb)
+
+annex.addunlocked is set to true
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Create a repo with ~90000 files smaller than 500k and ~1000 files larger (in my case ranging from 500k to 32M). Set addunlocked to true and annex.largefiles to largerthan=500kb. Start the assistant and let it finish adding the files. Restart the assistant.
