Thank you for your reply, eschwartz!

Computing power is not the issue I'm afraid. It hangs at times and I get Not Responding on the window, it sorts out what it is doing, but it takes A LOT more time than it should. My CPU isn't even breaking a sweat. I'm not really sure what Calibre has to do on an eBook add that takes so much time, does it scan the entire book? I'm not doing conversions.

I'm running:

Windows 8.1 64-bit
Calibre 64-bit v1.15.0
i7-3930K (6-core@3.2GHz with HT)
32GB DDR3 (Quad Channel)
