This will be the cause of the performance issue. Database performance over a network is notoriously bad. Also it is not an officially supported way of running - only running off a local drive is officially supported.
I used to run with the Books in the Calibre library on my NAS and the database on a local drive. That gives nearly as good performance as having everything local. I would then periodically sync the database back to the Calibre library on the NAS.
