Thank you for the comment and providing your experience running the tool. Our Microsoft DSE had reached out to the author of the visio scanner tool and learned that it's an older open source tool that is no longer maintained with the suggestion to recompile it to 64bit version, limit sites with -r parameter, and possibly exclude the search piece to alleviate the performance overhead. I don't think the tool is meant for scanning a large tenant as I was able to successfully running it in our POC with only about 500 sites without issue.

In the meantime and as the workaround, we use search's graph API to find and search the .vsdw file extension. I hope that helps for your scenario as well.
