Some of the changes noted would have the effect of scanning some types of files which would not have been scanned at all using earlier versions.  Some of them would result in what might be called 'deeper' scanning.  I imagine all of these could be expected to extend scanning times, although an increase of 50% seems rather high.  I guess it depends on the mix of files that you're scanning.
