Remember that it may be spiking simply because you need to rebuild the database .. so it's doing it song by song (analyzing BPM, cue point info, etc.). Pre-analyse the tracks and the load spike should lessen.

That pc doesn't have a surge protector on other the the monster pro 3000. I have bad power service here and I have lost many electronics because of power drop outs So I am one by one by one putting an APC power ups on my PC's gradually. TV to help keep the power serge's and brown outs and just plane power outages from damaging my sensitive equipment. I have there 3 APC BN15000 900 watt 150 nim run time so they don't get hit and are protected From power serge, brown out or just power failure. So far every one that I have one has never failed . It gives me time to shut them down properly so I can save my work. I don't have one on that old pc yet but I will get one when the budget allows.
The problem I have is the power goes off and everything just shuts down. Then the power comes back on and I reboot. and the pc says do not shut down till windows reconfigure while it rebooting. Then the power shuts off while it reconfigureing. and it screws up the BIO's before it's finished.
Power ups keeps them running so I can shut down safely
The one on this pc gives me 97 min to shut down and is set to do it automatically if I'm not home once it get down to 10 min left of power.
The same on the one on my security system it gives me 106 min to keep running after the power goes out and it to will save the data about 10 before shutting down If I'm not home. I need one more to put on my music pc so to to can save and shut down safely.
So far the ones I'm using have saved my equipment many times.They also protect your TV coax and internet connection from power spikes.
There designed to supply a pure sign wave and when the power goes out my pc and TV and modem and security never even blink.
When out power goes out you never know if it's gonna last 2 min or all day When the power goes out and pc shut down improperly the try to re boot only to get hit again kinda screws things up. Now there only good for 900 watts so you can have your amps and other high draw things hooked up to them but It will save you low power electronics from damage.
These are what I am using now for protection
