I've only got a dual core Intel processor in my two year old laptop and when my son installed Calibre and a library the same size as yours it only took a few hours. But he used Calibre version 0.7.35 while you are using 0.7.18. Try updating to the latest version and see if it helps. I know I read somewhere that the newer versions sped up the handling of large libraries.
The newest version is 0.7.42 (which adds some nice new features btw). Get it here:

While it is importing it pegs the processor .... I mean everything it can get, as well as maxing out the memory. I have a rather extensive collection of books and that was only one folder. The problem being that it took 3 days to import those, and I have 6-7 other folders I would like in the database with similar size and structure.
My system is relatively old but still pretty snappy
AMD Phenom(tm) 9600 Quad-Core Processor
4 Gb DDR2
2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux
Python 2.6.6
Calibre 0.7.18
Any words from the wise would be greatly appreciated !
