How long this takes??? Depends a bit on you HW.

The drive Calibre's library lives on is a 6gbit/sec SATA III HD device, so reasonably quick. SSDs are steadily dropping in price (I just got a 120GB model as a boot drive for an older device for $30 USD), so an SSD for the Calibre library to live on is a likely upgrade down the road.
But meanwhile, long running tasks are things I queue before going to bed. Stuff like this is likely to occupy enough of the system that trying to do other things while it's running is problematic, so start it and do something else like sleep.

I always load my advice with cautions, so the user does not expect instantaneous completion, nor abort. I would guess 3 per second for an idea (does not include the Metadata backup file job queued in background)

The cautions are understood. I tend to do the same, because I don't normally know the knowledge level of the person I'm advising and err on the side of ignorance when giving assistance.
