Some background that may explain part of the performance issue:
- my PC is old (7 years) and still running Windows XP SP3
- books are sent to a 8Gb sd card (thus slow) in the reader
- calibre contains 2742 books - Around 98% are also in the sony reader

I finaly had the end of the metadata transfer during the night: this time it was 114 minutes.
If I add all different tries it's above 400 minutes!


This morning I retried a new tranfer of 40 books:
- 1 min 20s to transfer the books
- 105 min and still not finished for the metadata. It's still alive, and I can check that more or less every minute a 'books.db-journal' file is created in the database folder on the reader.

Does this ring some bells to you guys ?
Yep!

Sounds like my first PEz which would error out if I attached it to a Intel 82801 USB2 'enhanced' port, except really much worse than USB1 mode (resorted to installing a separate USB1 only card). My total times were lots quicker: ~6 mins for ~1200 books

What are your Sony device driver settings (screen shot wanted )
Preferences: Plugins: Device Interface: <model>: (click the Customize Button)

What is the setting on Preferences: Sending Books To Device: Automatic Management
