Kovid has stated that Calibre is currently optimized for development speed. It shows - Calibre is incredibly easy to develop and has the fastest cycle time of any program I use. It's a compromise I can live with. Speed during use is not ignored - there have been many speed improvements, but I like the current focus on development.
