Alternatives to Calibre

So, my ebook library is getting..large to say the least.
Calibre is an awesome application but the library is simply too large to for it to handle effectively.
Im getting poor response from it and what I'm really looking for is something that will do the following ;

-Automatically scan for new files/ebooks in a directory and add them to an existing db.
-Provide search functions (ie: Author, Title etc)
-Share the library out via some sort of web interface (I like being able to grab books remotely) In much the same way Calibre does.
-Provide as minimal software footprint as possible - Possibly without a graphical front end interface as this will be moved to a simple server sitting at the terminus of my connection.
I'd like to move this sort of thing *off* the desktop and onto the house server.

I realise I might be asking for something which doesn't exist, and to be honest, Im not even sure if this post belongs in this thread, but I thought I'd give it a try regardless. (My apologies if its been asked already, I checked, but couldn't see anything related)

Should I be looking at perhaps a different content management solution ?
Any Ideas ?
