Performance with large Libraries?
I am finding that as my library is getting larger, the performance of Calibre seems to be dropping of markedly when adding new books. As I want to add several thousand more this is worrying as it might mean Calibre becomes unusable for a Library of this size.

In case it matters, I am running under Windows XP, with the Calibre library on a network drive, and currently around 1000 books stored in it.

Questions I have are:
- Is this a known issue?
- Is it specific to Windows?
- Is there anything I can do to improve performance?
- Is there anything I can do to diagnose the bottleneck?
