no end's offed
Actually I find that if I exit caliber from a large library, it takes much longer when restarting, almost 40seconds. If I switch to a small library then exit, when restarting it takes just a few. may just be the latest release, but probably because its reading through all the thousands of entries.
Anyway my point is if I can reduce my library by a couple of thousand books, I probably will.
At least for now, can always add them later.
