I took a look at the program in activity monitor and I see a couple of things. First, its taking up almost 100% of my CPU, and this is a relatively new macbook pro. Secondly, it's also taking up 5 GB + of virtual memory space and 300 MB of physical memory.
No jobs are running and I only have about 140 books in the library (and even when there was 1 book in the library it was slow), is there any setting in preferences that could be causing the program to overload?

If this is a new install (or an upgrade from a really old , pre .8 version), it may be backing up your metadata. let it grind
for many hours.
It should settle down once that task is done.
