New member. Joined in regards to my own slowed viewer opening. Think I found my problem, maybe it will help someone else.

Current Calibrary Library version: 5.11

Mac-mini. Latest version OS. 2.5 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5. Memory 16GB

I am not computer literate. Spouse works at Cisco as one of their top customer trouble-shooters. But rarely assists me, so I'm left to figure my own things out eventually.

In Calibre: Preferences + Behavior

Everything worked fast, opening in a split second, until one day after a few weeks of installing 5.11 I selected every choice on the Internal viewer. And yes, I waffled until a couple days ago to deselect some:
MARKDOWN
MD
PML
PMLZ
POBI
RB
SNB

I don't know why I chose those other than I don't think I'd ever need them.

After selecting those I did a complete shut down of Calibre, restart.

Where I had experienced 2 minutes to 20 minutes for a first book opening each library restart no matter the book size, for the past 48 hours of use opening/closing Calibre a number of times I have regained my speed.

I love Calibre and appreciate Kovid for the work he and everyone has put into it. Calibre is everything and more that I was struggling to try to build before I found it.

A BIG thank-you to everyone behind Calibre.
