Nope. I contest that it takes longer.
I know that Calibre hangs while it updates the books via sync with the old plugin, however It took me 8:27 to sync my read shelf using the new plugin. There are 1162 books.
With the older plugin it took :25.94. I know this because I set the stopwatch to start when the sync box closed out and stop when the arrow icon turned into a finger when it was hovering over the Goodreads button on the menu bar.
Also, when I say update page, because the progress bar is so slow I am able to see it literally say “page 1”……….”page 2”…………”page 3” and so on. I may have saig "Updating Page 1" but I think I meant "Page 1" and each page represents a book.
I am not making this up, and I am not “perceiving” it to be slower. Why would I complain for months about this if I was just making perception errors that I could easily clear up with a stopwatch?
I have many times brought this up here. I understand that this is a problem that only affects me because no one would have been quiet if they were dealing with this. Also, I don't appreciate your being condescending. I know that this is a hard problem to explain, and I have tried to explain it, but since it only happens to me it sounds like I am being nit-picky, but I am not.
This is a great plugin, I love it, and I have contributed to it in the past. (I think), it is an integral part of my Calibre library. So having it work right is important. I don't doubt for a minute that you made the plugin fine, but for whatever reason it isn't playing nice with my library.
