I noticed that as my library has grown in size (the db file is 65mb) that when I try to import a list to update tags, etc. the process takes a loooong time, when I look at the library using Explorer I see that a db journal is being used to update each book. Is this normal? It seems that instead of updating the .db file it is updating each book's .opf file.

Regarding the large .db file, I am trying to get all the info right for the library before splitting it up to smaller libraries.

Is there anything short of deleting columns that can make it go faster? I cleared out the icon rules, but I have a lot of tag rules.

right now it's taking about 3 seconds per book to update. I am importing lists of 200 books. Calibre 4.17 x64 Windows 10

BTW....I just downloaded 4.18 and love the heirarchal tag browser features!
