 * I have 40000 images uploaded via FTP, the sync time is too slow. Is there a way
   to make it faster?

 * The sync process has to go through several steps:
    1. Generate a list from the database of all media files in the current folder and
       store them in memory
    2. Scan for all the files in current directory
    3. For each file, check if it is in the list from the database. If not found, generate
       thumbnail images and meta data and add new records to the media library database.
 * All this steps are required to import files into the media library. The pro version
   of the plugin has a maintenance feature that can server as bulk imported, but
   after scanning for files that need importing, one must indicate which files should
   be imported. There is also another plugin you can try, Add From Server. If this
   plugin is used, it is necessary to add any new folders that contain media files
   to import to Media Library Folders **before** using Add From Server.
