All other file accesses on the system seem to be normal, e.g. opening Word documents, moving the files with Finder and the like. I guess I just must split the library until a move to a larger capacity SSD is possible and practical (the last time I looked multiple tb drives were very expensive).

That seems slow to me, but my knowledge of Macs is scant, especially on this sort of issue.
I did some similar tests - 16GB I7-7700, Windows 10 Pro 1903. The library I used has 180K items and it lives on a 4TB WD Caviar Black on a SATA III 6gb/s controller. I run 2 active content indexers (Windows and X1) and two active AVs (Windows Defender and Malwarebytes) - with no exclusions.
From a SanDisk NVMe SSD I added a 31MB PDF to the above library in 2.2 seconds, I don't have any large EPUBS so I added a 200MB CBZ, it took 4.6 seconds.
My experience is that putting libraries on an SSD rather than a decent SATA III controller/disk combo makes no discernible difference to calibre performance. Likewise with library size, the performance of my 180K item Main library is not significantly different to my 64 item Test library - which has dozens of custom columns, they're both PDQ.
