I am a bit baffled.
That makes two of us. The Aura is supposed to be faster than the Glo and definitely faster than the Touch. I do have less books, but I that shouldn't affect the shelf list performance. Number of shelves should have an affect and the number of books on them should as well.

Reducing the number of collections seemed to make a reasonably consistent difference, but creating a collection of 231 books already on the device made it take almost 3 times longer. Then changing the shelf configuration to series from authors but still having the 231 book collection was fastest yet. I know that I have less shelves but if the 231 book collection added around 90 seconds why would it take much less time. Probably a logical reason but it eludes me.
The only thing I can think is that when you removed your old shelves and replaced them with the author shelves, the database was cleaned up. Maybe the mass insertions needed for this caused a rebuild of the indexes.

I also cannot understand why the library list is so much faster. I have read claims that the books and/or database and/or covers must be processed, but are the covers/database/books not the same for the library list? I think of the library list as a large shelf, and the shelves as subsets of the library list.
I agree with you there. Displaying a list of 1200 books with covers sounds harder then counting the books for the shelves. But, it is faster. I suppose they have had more time to work on it and see it more often.

Any light you can shed on this would ease my poor broken brain
Nothing I can think of. But, my brain is broken from spending the day trying to work out why the comms at one of a customers sites is so much slower than all of their other sites.
