People who pontificate other people's issues to be non-issues, while arrogating to speak for an overwhelming majority, always make me scratch my head.
Of course someone adding 8,500 books is an extreme case. But FWIW, I've seen annoyingly long delays with just a few tens of books. I let it run over night, and in the morning it still wasn't finished.
Stuck at the same percentage of processing. Without even an error message. That's completely unacceptable to me.
I found out that it's probably choking on some bad formatting, and have adjusted by running everything through calibre first. I learned to jump through hoops because of a weakness in Kobo's software design. I shouldn't have to do that. And, notabene, that was the same set of books I had used before on a Nook and a Kindle without any comparable delay.
Edit:
And, as someone else has said, to me whatever Kobo is trying to achieve by "processing" a database is a non-issue. It serves no purpose for me. Just load the file, give me some basic formatting, and I'm happy. So this whole book processing, while having an annoying downside, isn't even a tradeoff that has an upside.
