Kovid, I've just experienced a problem which may be related to this.

I've done my usual weekly task of running "Kindle for PC", downloading the books I've bought in the last week (14 in total), and adding them to Calibre. When I did this, a ... certain plugin, which is a "File Type" plugin ... apparently randomly failed to work for some of the books that were added; they stayed as "AZW" files, rather than being converted to MOBI or AZW3, as is normally the case. I deleted the books, and re-added them. Same thing, but different books were successfully processed. I deleted the books again, and this time added them one by one: this time they were all correctly processed. Is it possible that the optimisation process you've added means that books are no longer being processed by file-type plugins?
