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).
ADDING a book involves COPING the book to the LIBRARY FOLDER (in addition to OPENING THE BOOK and extracting the metadata for the Library entry) . This is what is taking the time: The SIZE of the books file. A typical EPUB novel is under 1M, it happens fast

It has NOTHING to do with the number of ENTRIES already present. Yous system is I/O bound . Gaming systems are optimized for Graphics. You need a FILE SERVER design (Learned by Experience ) if you really can't wait
