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.

Find Duplicate plugin read metadatas and has a syntactic tolerance margin.
And it works not only for books, but also for metadata (Authors, Tag...), which makes it possible to unified the Library.
If the first point is possible with OS tools, the second seems more difficult.

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.
