Based on what I have read about other peoples performance issues I am not being hit to bad. If I'm adding 100 titles or editing tags on them it might take 30 to 60 seconds for calibre to be come responsive again after the files have copied.

I think that my hardware is doing good things for me already. However based on the performance gain related in some other posts the I could probably drop that lag by almost 70 to 80 % by moving the database to my ssd drive. The ssd drive has a throughput of about 400 megs a second while the sata drive is running about 50 megs a second. With an older intel quad core processor and 8 gigs of ram, I don't think there is anything on that side I can speed up. I think it is all I/0 issues.

Searching for books in the library now takes a long time also maybe 10 seconds before the search returns results and 20 seconds before the interface becomes responsive again.
