You are sticking with older firmware? If so, I don't think 3.18 is a good choice. The second 3.19 is a better choice.

I changed my SD card with a 128 GB one an I have my full library on it...
Means around 53000 books.

And it runs really fine.
Wow. I would have thought that this number of books would have been noticeably slower.

When I connect the device to Calibre, it takes 10mn to connect and make the update.
The initial connect takes 10 minutes? I'm not surprised. It might speed things up if you turn off the "Read metadata from files on the device" in the driver configuration, it might be faster. I think but it's been ages since I looked at exactly how that option worked in the driver.

When I export the new books on it, it does not take more than 10mn (not more than 200 books, I update regularly).
When I use the device, absolutely no dump or running time.

I have another Kobo with "only" 1000 books on it, and the "big" one behaves the same as the "small" one.

Regarding the file size, I don't know where to find it... If you can tell me where I have to look for, I'll check it, but the library size itself is around 32GB.
The calibre.metadata file is in the root directory of the device when it is connected. On my Glo HD with about 4500 books, it is 45MB. So, 500MB would be reasonable yours. Calibre rewrites it as part of the connection, so that could take a few minutes.
