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.
