That is a 'big' library. Calibre loads the database into memory at start, so that probably helps explains why you got a memory fail.
File Type plugins (such as GFN) don't have access to that in-memory copy of the database, so Terisa de Morgan instanced a local copy within the plugin. If you read through the thread you'll read Kovid's earlier posts (~post #170) as to why that's a no-no.
As I understand Terisa's latest post - the 'beta' version she attached will store the plugin preferences (the columns names) in a plugin specific json file in the configuration folder rather than the preferences table in the database - which means GFN will have no need to access the in-memory database.
