Thanks for that, although I must still be missing something. However, don't worry about it further.
While this discussion has been going on I have gradually edited FN/LN my entire library the "hard" (ie slow plugin) way so from now on I will only be dealing with one or two books periodically as I buy new ones so speed issues won't BE issues.
To conclude the thread: there is no question that there is some major issue with this module of GUI PI Quality Check, albeit only for me. Every single other fix/check in that same plugin works exactly as and as fast as I'd expect it to. Swap FN/LN continues to be ridiculous to the point of stalling my entire system - i.e. can't multitask whatsoever when it's running, not even run my browser - and throwing up errors if I choose too many books (more than 20 or so) in a list selected using (say) check series gaps. It **sounds** like a RAM issue, but it can't be when everything else which is used for doing tasks just as complex in terms of database processing, including multitasking with 3-4 big programs inc Calibre running, works just fine. Anyway, I am clearly flogging a dead horse at this point so I will call it a day. One or two books at a time? I can live with it.
Thanks to everyone for suggestions and input. Much appreciated!
