Tried to upload music and received this hilarious message: http://yfrog.com/ocygcp
After trying a 2nd time through the non-wizard interface, it turns out all 72 of my songs on this machine are iTunes DRM'd. Humph.

That was the cost of not pirating music.
Most of the songs in my library are non-drm (mp3) and it still took about 18 hours to do steps 1 & 2 (indexing & ?) across 22k songs. Music is stored on a (slow) network attached drobo.
The 5100 songs (25%? Crazy!) that aren't already up there are taking another 24 hours but I assume this is bandwidth dependent.
Crucially, this is all happening in the background, hasn't required my intervention at all, doesn't disrupt using itunes, and once it started uploading everything that it didn't have to upload was immediately available on other devices.
A pretty solid experience, IMO.
Anyone know what happens when the library hits 25k songs???
25k songs applies only to non-iTunes purchased songs. Songs purchased on iTunes don't apply to that limit.
My wife stopped buying DRMed music as soon as it was possible and upgraded every DRMed track iTunes could find and we still discovered that about 5-10% of her tracks were DRMed when we did the great Amazon Cloud Drive upload.
