"Why does it take so long for calibre to delete 1000 books at a time?"

Because no one kissed Bill Gates when he was a kid?

1 second per book or one second at the end of the batch of books? I take the first is easier to implement. I'm not sure the trade off is worth it to alter a recycling bin icon. But not my call or headache.

Thanks for checking out and locating the source of this issue shared observation.

moving to recycle bin happens in the background, so the extra second shouldn't matter at all. But I am looking into an alternate solution -- keeping a single worker process alive whose job is to only move files to the recycle bin.

That can of worms was a lot deeper than I thought it was when I opened it.

Many thanks for persevering through it.

If calibre had an option to do permanent deletes rather than moves to the bin I would already be using it... does calibre have such an option? I have a track record of missing things

Even though you've already figured it out (I think?!), I'll just confirm that I too am running the 32-bit version of Calibre (I'm sure I read there was no reason to change to the 64-bit version when it was first released?).

Just to confirm, it's working great now in today's new version. Thanks!
