ioconnor - My rig is an i5 processor with 6GB RAM running Windows 7 Pro, it has an Hitachi 256GB SDD system drive. My libraries are on a SATA2 WD 2TB Caviar Black, it is indexed by Windows, it is compressed by Windows and it is NOT excluded from Windows Security Essentials and Malwarebytes scanning
I just added a a 400MB AVI to a 8,000+ book library - ~9 secs, I then added a 200KB EPUB to same library - ~2 secs
Each morning I add 10-20 books (50-250KB each) to a 65,000 book library, takes a minute or two for all of them
Things you could try
- rebuild the database,
- hide the libraries from indexers, malware scanners etc,
- run diagnostics on the hard drive,
- run a chkdsk on the drive,
- run a system file check
I have no doubt the problem lies with your computer. Most of time taken by adding a book is copying the file into the library folders - not updating the db. I just copied that same 400MB AVI to another location on the same drive with my file manager, which has a timer - 8.46 secs
