Assuming
- Your home WiFi network has good performance
- You set up the file templates as described in the FAQ
- Your books are "normal" size, averaging arround 1MB each
then I would expect the average time to transfer each book to be less than 3 seconds, perhaps as low as 2. That works out to between 20 and 30 books per minute. Your mileage may vary.
If:
- you have enough space on Dropbox or some other cloud provider
- are always connected to the net
- the network performance is acceptable
- don't have overly-limiting data metering
then you might be better served doing what DoctorOhh suggests. The time taken for CC's Cloud Connection to start is directly related to the size of the calibre database and how often it changes. If the db hasn't changed since the last connection then CC doesn't download it again. The size of the books has no impact on startup time, but of course will have an impact on download time.
