OK excel - about 2 second. word 1 second. google chrome - well I'm using it to type this but I doubt that it's longer than 2 secs.

is 6 seconds too long ? - not at all but then 195 books is not a lot of books.!

I am concerned that if I dump in a collection of 3000+ sci fi that I found recently then I'd be looking at 5-6 MINUTES for start-up, which would be annoying.

My windows media player has a library of 10,000+ items yet it still loads very fast, much faster than my calibre library of 195 items!

hence the thought of having calibre start up in the background ,as a low priority task, at boot up where the slowness may go un-noticed.

I have already implemented the idea of excluding the library directory from AV scans but with AVG free the real time checks may run anyway - there is little user control.
