I don't run anti-virus (and I work in computer security! Rofl!) nor do I have the UAC for windows 7 on. I don't know what else could be causing these slowdowns for the PP and calibre.

Also things are getting constantly corrupted when I transfer them, I took 19 books, converted them all from .lit, .doc, .txt etc to .epub since epub doesn't suck on the PP apparently and the transfer corrupted on most of the files. And then half of the files that did manage to get transferred were corrupted as well and are not able to be deleted. Frustrating.

Edit: The rest of my computer is lightning fast, I don't have malware as I know what not to do. When I need to go to less savory corners of the internet I use my ubuntu laptop. So it isn't that either
You never said anything about Calibre in your original post

Calibre does a lot of internal housekeeping and is (snail) slow on a P4-3.2 800MHz FSB about deleting files from the PEz or Fetching the list (with Meta Data) from the PEz.
The only advantage, that I can see, of using Calibre to Delete files on the PEz, is it has found the location(s) where they were for you.
Use the normal file manager (Win or Linux) for bulk sized deletes, the PEz shows up as (mounted)Drives in Windows or Linux.
