I already have a pages column for many years (I think I made it myself many years ago) so I didn't immediately click to that.
Need to install V9 again and see.
I keep asking myself if I need to be continuing to upgrade?? Thanks

The new calibre 9 Pages column is built into calibre and it's only use is setting the width of book spines in bookshelf view. It is not removable and has nothing to do with the Page count column used by the Page Count plugin. Though you can set the width to use the Page Count pages algorith. Heck, at one point in the beta test, I use Page Count's word count to set the spine width just to see what could be done.
On my system which is a bit of a high end machine, it took ~10 minutes to generate all the page counts for my main library. Slower machines will take longer but this is a background task so has little effect on anything else. Once the page counts were completed, it takes a few seconds after calibre startup with my main library open for the disk activity light to go out.
