I'm using Calibre 3.7 on a windows 7 pro machine 64 bit version and every time Calibre starts it takes at least 7 mins to open. The library is approx 23,000 books.

I also run it on another computer (same library/system) and it opens in approx 90 secs.

On the first machine I can hear the hard drive being continually read during Calibre start up so I'm wondering is Calibre rebuilding some data each time it initializes? which is causing the long delay in opening?

The library is stored on a second internal drive not the primary drive. Shouldn't Calibre remember the location/database details once created?

I have Kaspersky security on my system but I have tried starting Calibre both with and without Kaspersky running so I know it isn't the antivirus software affecting it.

Thoughts anyone?
