Polly,
With a quad core cpu and 8Gb of RAM you shouldn't be slowing down at all. I just loaded a library of 2400 books in about a minute and you are running a more capable computer system than I am.
What I said before is valid in and of itself, but obviously not applicable to your circumstances.
Are you running any disk intensive activities? Perhaps you have PerfectDisk (a defragmenter) which has an optimized writing feature which moves stuff around silently? Or you have changed the frequency of antivirus updates? Performing AV scans? Are you using Indexing? When is the last time you did a full system AV scan?
