Just to clarify - my comment about network drives being very slow applies even to single book imports or metadata changes. About 2 orders of magnitude slower than doing the same actions against a local drive. In these cases, the front-end running Calibre is Windows XP Pro, and the back-end is a Samba 2 networked file server, with a Gigabit LAN connection between them.

I have been meaning for some time to run from source with timing statements added so I can see exactly which statements are running slowly when using network drives, but I have not yet got around to it. I am sure if they are identified it would be easy to apply some significant tuning.

I think I will wait until the first 0.6 release comes out as you may already have solved this issue for that release. If not I will try and find the time to look further.
