He doesn't say which version of Avast he is using though probably 5.x
He also doesn't say how much RAM the computer has.
He also doesn't say if all the scans were done on the same computer or not.

By comparison I just did a Quick Scan with Firefox 4 open with 8 Tabs

Files - 115,034
Folders - 24,064
GB - 21.3

I will now close Firefox clean the HDD and rescan


After closing Firefox and cleaning the HDD

Western Digital WD5000AAKS-75V0A0 Hard Drive

Files - 115,015
Folders - 23,417

I did one last scan - Same as above except I closed SAS in addition to Firefox

No meaningful change in time from the previous scan
