For reference:

I run Calibre on 64 bit Ubuntu 10.4 with Compiz activated. I have /tmp on a ramdisk, /home (with the calibre library) on a sata disk, and everything else on a fast ssd-disk. 3 years old 64 bit AMD processor with 2 cores. 4 GB RAM.

I use no antivirus software.

It takes 2-4 seconds to start calibre. I have 2k book titles.

Without exhaustive testing I believe calibre is the program that takes the longest to start on my computer. Most programs start without any noticable delay at all.

Calibre runs rock steady and the GUI and the viewer are both very responsive. Unless jobs are running.

I suspect that the ssd-disk and /tmp on ramdisk pays off.
