The drive was not showing any errors when I ran scan disk but while copying some file the read speed would drop from 160mb to 5-10kb then speed up when it again when it passed the portion that had the problem.

I've wondered this as well...BUT...I have reinstalled Calibre onto a different drive, used the portable version on another drive. Moved my library to a different drive. Installed 32bit Calibre to a different place. None of it makes any difference. What does seem to make a difference is safe mode. Calibre is definitely faster there. Also, none of my own software is running (except classsic shell and firefox) and I've already verified those aren't the problem. The only other sotuff running is windows services and the g.card SW. Not sure how to proceed. Don't want to start stopping services that might make my machine not boot or something. I'm beginning to sense that I may have to live with it!
Thanks for your input.
