What would cause the "journal-db metadata" file to idk how to put it, but when I am trying to import a list sometimes when the list takes way too long to import and update this file shows up in the library folder and indicates each book being updated (i assume). I noticed that when I am doing a lot of mass updates (like importing lists) that unless I give it a break and let the metadata for the books catch up then the import list ends up being very slow, and that journal-db metadata file shows up.

I just imported a simple list of titles/authors/dates/source with only updates to the source and date. However it took a very long time. I know the metadata was up to date (I checked using preferences), so, my question is, what would cause Calibre to slow down like that when all the metadata in the books is caught up (with the exception of the changes I was making)?

ALso, I know this seems like a plugin question, but it's really about that file that that indicates Calibre is running slow to update.
