Oh okay.
My answer was inspired by the fact that "complaining" about loading time is more a remark from a newbie.

I would insist a little by advise you to try Calibre again. Apart from this new PC, Calibre probably improved a lot.
But, I let you judge which tools you use.

If the first point is possible with OS tools, the second seems more difficult.

Various comments by various peoples.
Personally, I totally approve the disproportionate size of your Library. I too share this archiving culture/strategy.
I don't have as much as you, but I think Calibre can handle if we organize ourselves right.
So try it, you go pushed Calibre in its limits, your return will always be useful for the software.
