Dealing with large wallets - would be awesome if one could -rescan just a single address/label instead of the whole wallet address list.

I don't think rescanning a single address would be faster. Or why would you want to rescan for a single address? If you just want to check the unspent outputs a utxo set based scan would be much faster.

Its faster eventually - with increased number of wallet addresses rescan slows my experience - could there be other bottlenecks causing this behavior?

How does the rescan work? Maybe there are other bottlenecks for me which make it slow - is it even possible that number of addresses make the rescan slower?

Yes, more addresses, more slow.

Almost all of the time for a rescan is spent on deserializing the blocks from disk and hashing. More addresses will likely make things slightly slower, but I expect you'd need 1000s to notice it.

Thx sipa, that explains a lot to me. Yes indeed, it was about a large stack of addresses. Ill close the issue as my question has been answered. tyvm
