With just 4 gig of ram your system has to be doing a lot of swapping.

How many books are in your Calibre library and how much disk space does it occupy?

You may do better using an older version of Calibre. Just because it is older isn't a reason to discount it. The newer versions of Calibre use more resources. That makes sense. But the older versions are still supported or should I say forum supported. Find the most bulletproof version you can and "step back" to it. You will probably find it uses less resources.
I'm using Calibre 3.6 with about 8000 books in 5 libraries.

My PC has an i3 at 2.53Mhz

I did add a 4GB USB for Readyboost.

Also did a virus and malware scan. Cleaned cache/temp. Uninstalled many unused programs. Registry cleaner. Finally did a defrag. I noticed startup is faster.

I'll see if performance improves.
