I've found it slow in one single situation: at startup, on a machine with spinning-rust disk that has not previously run any Qt 5 applications since boot. This is not Calibre's fault: it's just that Qt 5 is *huge*, and faulting in the parts of it used by Calibre can take quite a long time. I doubt this is practically fixable: nor, with the increasing prevalence of SSD with its zero seek time, are people particularly motivated to fix it.
