And the sorting happens when I unplug from the computer, not just turn the device off. I can usually add anywhere from about 10-300 new files in a day. So it re-indexes whenever I eject it from Calibre, which happens a lot in a day.
And too many times it locked up trying to browse the books on the SD card.
So I've been keeping it to 1- 1/2 gig on Main memory, and don't use the SD card at all. The increase in speed and stability is pretty clear for me. It's not not worth having the SD card in at this time.

I currently have 689 ebooks on a 4GB SD card in my 650 (none in main memory), when I plug it in/unplug it from my computer it only takes the reader 2-3 minutes to change from the battery charing screen to the home screen with the current book I'm reading ready to be opened again.
I use Calibre exclusively to manage the 'library' on my reader, and all the books are epub books. No PDF, LRF or other formats.
A bit of simple maths:
689 X 5=3445 books. 3 minutes (approx) to home page x 5 = 15 minutes. (theoretical as I haven't tried that many books on my reader/SD card)
I haven't noticed any slowing down in the 'restart' after unplugging from the computer as I've loaded more books on it.
The restart time is about the same as when I power it on or off as well.
I have never had any issues with the SD card locking up either, and I never take it out of the 650.
My 0.02c (NZ$) worth.
