Swap FN/LN used to be lightning fast and therefore more than useful and used continually by me.
Example, today I modified 100 epubs with Modify epub, and timed it as it uses the same temp location procedure, and it did the job in a couple of minutes - no problem at all with that speed. To exchange Author FN/Last Name on the same books took 7.5 minutes. Unacceptably slow, especially as I change them back again after the modify epub. As I said to Grant I've been doing that forever and it has never been less than very quick.
There's definitely a problem with the plugin, as far as I can ascertain, in that, amongst other things, the dropdown menu remains dropped down - it used to go away once clicked as it does for all other Checks. My entire system gets sluggish while the process is working. It's not too bad with 3-5 books, so I've been doing that.

I use this PI all the time (flippin names, formatting initials, is a common usage for me) 1 Minute tops on a lowly P4 for 5-10 books. and that is with MR up on Firefox
, My Mail and NNTP Newsreader running in background.
Something is way south on your rig. Check your PATH for circular loops (same exact folder more than once
).
