So the feature is effectively useless if you have a large library?

I have about 1500 pdfs I wanted to catalog with calibre. I set up a regular expression that works great with them individually, but it does not work when I try to do the whole database or even a significant subset.

The metadata download job just runs for days and produces no results at all. But as I said if I select 1 or 2 pdfs and run it, it works fine and produces results in a couple of minutes.
