No I didnt look at the log file, it's pointless I know perfectly well that calibre does not make 2 million writes when updating metadata for a single book. So they cant be coming from calibre code, a metadata update is literally updating a few rows in a sqlite database, proportional to the number of columns/fields you have in your library. And then there will be an eventual backup which is another single write to an OPF file.

ok, you call that 'inserting code'. alright. i don't see it as any insertion but have it your own way. the point is to reach clarity of understanding.
and in that direction my underlying point was that perhaps there would be something in the output that might be of interest and give some leads as to where to look.
which I think is a perfectly reasonable attitude. And if you don't then that's okay and just adds information about yourself.
I appreciate your help and interest.
