It’s been moved into the Shared drive on the iMac because himself also has a Calibre library.
FWIW I have about 3200 books and it takes 3.5 seconds to launch for me, so it's probably more about to the disk performance (I'm on an SSD) or OS-level stuff like the filesystem than the library per se.

I still often use the folder hierarchy rather than going through Calibre because it's quicker and easier for a lot of things, but I still keep everything in Calibre (which does the primary layout) and use a parallel tree of symlinks to structure things the way I like from the command-line.
