I'm puzzled,

I used to update a lot of meta data on an extremely crappy netbook on an older version of Calibre in 2010, and it used to apply it without noticeable delay, meaning as soon as I hit the 'next' button, it was applied and showing me the next book instantly.

So I'm extremely surprised the current version seems so slow on an exceedingly fast system, that encodes a 1080p movie in ~20 minutes.

Apparently, the current version of Calibre lets you make your changes for all selected books without applying them, until you reach the end and only then it starts...

This design is a bit precarious, cause if you edited Metadata for 300 books and then your system crashes or electricity goes out, before it completes all of them, you just lost many hours of work. So now my system is grinding away for hours, even though its pretty much idle...

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'm close to 5 hours in and its at 64%...

I only have the browser running and both CPU and Memory are less than 20% commited.
