Running Calibre 2.20 on windows 7 64 bit. dual core processor, 8gb memory and Library ~9000 books. Suddenly Calibre is taking a long time to load. The splash screen comes up in a few second - but the library takes a further 2 minutes to load.
During this time the task manager shows calibre using ~2% of the cpu (intermittently) with memory increasing in steps to 207,000K.
Lots of disk activity during this period.

I tried switching off the anti-virus but it makes no difference. This only happens on the first activation of calibre after starting the computer. all subsequent starts of calibre are within a few seconds.

Any thoughts??
