Hope this is in the right place, and sorry for my rambling...

For the past few days I've been adding personal books to save on Calibre, and as such there are no identifiers (Ids in Edit Metadata). Once I closed that and chose to either view the file or Edit the book, there was a fairly long delay (comparatively speaking...about 15 to 20 seconds instead of opening in 2 or 3 seconds as usual).

Since the id was the only change, I decided to add a url in there to a particular site as reference but of course, I didn't put url in front, just started it with http. This made the delay even longer. When I went back into Edit metadata, there was now a url at the beginning.

Okay, all that for this: What can I put in that identifier box to not have a delay when there isn't really any identifier for a book? Of course I realize my initial delay might not have been related, but after that corrected link was there (url:http.......) there were no longer any delays, and they returned when I either deleted the whole link or removed url as a test.
