Any idea why this is happening?
When you first add a bunch of books calibre creates a opf file for each book so the database could be rebuilt if needed. I believe they throttle back the writing to so many records per minute so not to slow your machine up. You should see this go away when the writing is complete.

Plus, unless you exempted your library (as I did) your antivirus is checking every file that is created along the way.
