Questions:
1. Do you have the same experience?
2. Any other tips on how I can speed up my processing of books?

Almost (or maybe all) the Metadata Source Plugins uses about the same logic:
1) First, look for their own identifier. I you have a identifier set for that specific plugin (skoob, amazon, google, etc), then go directly to the book page.
2) Second, use ISBN search.
3) Third, use TITLE/AUTHOR search. This is the last resource, since it tends to be more slow, because it may find various editions of the same book, and have to decide which one is more appropriated.
