Update on this issue.
I checked the
media.xml file in both the database/cache and tmp/database/cache directories, and there are no references to my problematic book.
I re-generated the lrf, creating a 27-entry TOC. Transferred with Connect software, and STILL have the 30-40 second load problem (after pressing "5" for TOC Menu).
Unless there is another location for metadata, I don't think the problem is related to direct transferring via "readerfs" or the Mac GUI version. It's this particular book. Very much so, since every other LRF I genrerate, many with 30 TOC entries, load in 5 seconds.

Does your mountable file system give access to the meta-data for books?

Xenophon, as you can see from the above, it indeed does give access to the metadata. It's in two locations:
<mountpoint>/Reader/database/cache/media.xml
and
<mountpoint>/Reader/tmp/database/cache/media.xml
In the "tmp" directory, I still have references to the original "excerpt" ebooks that came with my Reader -- long since deleted. And looking at libprs500 to verify my suspicions, it seems like that one isn't used. The libprs500 only refers to "Reader/database/cache/media.xml" in its code.
Generating the Metadata is another issue all together, and scotty's program alone doesn't do this... so you've only won half the battle going that route.
