Well, I can't hang my mlnet for this, I solved it..  The shares I tried to add
are from a NFS connection, and apparently that doesn't work if the NFS share
is mounted read-only.  I re-mounted with 'rw' and now it works perfectly well.
I just added a catalog with 52000+ pictures and took only 15 seconds to "get
back" to the browsing page (web interface).

Also, when I do a 'ps ax | grep mlnet' I have 4 running mlnet processes, when
I check in 'top' they consume less than 0.2% CPU power in total and only 0.5%
memory.  I run it on a P4 2GHz box with 512MB RDRAM.

If anyone else have this NFS problem, I use this line in my fstab:
box:/catalog /mnt/share nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,retry=2,nolock 0 0

Runs smooth... :)
