If that is your priority, you might want to put your library on a better harddisk. Perhaps even Solid State Disk.
My friends tell me that if you have limited budget to improve PC it might be better to get SSD and a bit weaker processor, instead of splurging on really fast processor alone.

If you do less conversions and more work with metadata, where Calibre has to open many files fast, you might benefit form a faster disk more than from a faster processor.

A friend of mine used to use several harddisks in Raid0, stripped to improve access times to data. Now he uses SSD.
Do make frequent backups if you go the Raid0 path ;-)
