What does this 'convert' mean?
The version 6.3 calibre.exe files in my
c:\program files\calibre 2 and in
d:\calibre\portables\version6\calibre are identical, as is everything else. The essential difference is that portable expects the configuration data and libraries to be within the install folder. The calibre-portable.exe program is a wrapper that reflects that setup to calibre.exe.
I often access the same libraries from installed and portable calibre by dropping symlinks to the library folders into the portable install folder.

I did however note that 1 book added on 18 August did not have the correct Metadata but on 18 August I had deleted that book via Calibre).
My concern now is:
1. Are there orphan books in the Library Folder that are not in the metadata library?
2. How can I identify those orphan books?
The Check Library did not identify any orphan books.
The Library performance is still very slow.

FTR - I also use Goodsynch.
What does that last sentence mean - slow at what? Scrolling the list of books, viewing a book, updating metadata?
Do you have another drive to which you can copy the Large Library?
If you copy the Large Library\metadata.db file to an empty folder on your system drive you could have calibre access that folder as a library - that might give you a clue as whether the problem is database or device related.
Oh, and how is the USB drive formatted?
