Calibre updates and Capacity

Hi, I'm new to this forum and am an avid eBook Collector. I've begun to use Calibre to try to make sense of my collection (over 35,000 titles! ). I have 2 questions regarding Calibre. First, I am getting update notices every 2 - 3 days and they seem to be minor updates. Will Calibre have an auto-update function that only updates the relevant areas anytime soon? As it is, anytime I want to update I have to download the new file which is over 69Mb It wouldn't be so bad if I had a high speed line, by I'm in Africa using a Satellite line which doesn't go above 30 KBps.

The second matter is this, I want to catalog these 35,000 or so titles. Can Calibre deal with this kind of capacity. I have used some other types of cataloguing systems and have noticed marked drops in system efficiencies when the catalogues grow up to a certain size. Some even limit the no. of titles you can enter into the program.

Will a `bloated' Calibre have any effect on my system speeds? Thanks in advance

Best Regards,
