Even just making sure that you have everything needed to compile the "vanilla" sources is a lot of work.

You don't need to go that far.
Yes, scanning the entire libray will take a bit of time if you accidentaly click on the bookshelf button, but it is a process perform in backroung that like when you add new book, adds very little overhead.
That infortunate, but is a complex mixte of compromise to ensure that the build-in Calibre Pages count contain valid value in the case the user want to use it later
A choice that was made easier by the fact that Calibre Pages count is pretty fast (3 book by second, 1000 by hour), especialy compared to Pages Count Plugin, so once your library is completely done, your completely fine. Just be a little patient.
The only point that matter is IF you encounter freezing and stuttering of main interface when the library scan is perform, please thanks to report it if so.
