I think the research I did into it at the time said it was related to some issue with Macs having 1000 files being accessed at once or something, rather than specifically a Calibre problem.

I'll update to the latest version of Calibre, of course, but I'm not sure it will help when the time comes.
Calibre does not ever 'ACCESS all the books at once'. There are A FEW operations that open and close book related files SEQUENTIALLY, but never upon Launch.
The DB, and Covers for those shown in Grid or Cover view and a few more. that is nowhere close to 1K
