It had been a while since I had been on the forums so I thought I would put an update on this thread. Library is up to 228,000 items, approx 53,000 directories in library directory, and the database file is 463.6 mb. With the 1tb ssd samsung 940 or 950 i think performance is very very reasonable. I'm still using the same computer with no other changes other than operating system is now ubuntu 16.04

Though I haven't measured performance since earlier in this thread it feels as fast if not faster now than then. I think some of the calibre updates have improved performance a little bit and maybe ubuntu/OS improvements. Not sure about that.

calibre runs like a rock for me. I very seldom have performance or stability issues anymore. Using SSD to me is mandatory for any performance at all given a larger library size.

Hopefully I will be able to upgrade to a newer computer in the next couple years and move to m.2 drives. Move from the 400 to 500 megs a second to 3100 megs a second IO. It will be interesting to see what that does to performance.
