If a local cache starts thrashing then performance will fall by orders of magnitude. That cache might be a db cache, a directory structure cache, a disk block cache, a connection cache, or any number of other things.

The tool is free so I guess I can't complain but in this day and age to not be able to support network storage seems a bit arcane.
You might have a point, but in the end it is irrelevant. Calibre is how it is and NASes are how they are. You can accept the risk and the performance problems, or you can move your library to a local disk and if you want sync it to your NAS. Your choice.
