That happened to me when I switched to a new computer a few years back. Went to symlink some of my appdata folders... wait, did Windows 10 get rid of it? I'd forgotten it was third-party.

approximate_formats() is the speedy one; theres a few formats_xx() functions that check filesystem directly and are slower.
Annotations are annotation_count(); I suppose there might be very very tiny performance differences depending on the code but I wouldnt suspect that to be the culprit.
One thing I've done in the past to rule out the number of books for performance impact is use create library to make a new library copying the structure. Then copy 4-5 books over to it and see if it's still acting slow. If it is, start tearing apart all the columns and stuff in the test library until I figure out what's making it slow.
