I can report a similar problem, but with Windows XP. I installed Calibre 0.6.54 and prior to importing any books at all and changing no default settings (nor starting the webserver), I get regular disk activity every second. In my case it starts immediately and at least goes for several minutes (annoying enough that I haven't let it run longer than that to see if it will stop). Exiting Calibre stops the activity immediately.

I tried rebooting and running only Calibre, same regular disk noise.

I used to run an old version of Calibre on this machine, but had reinstalled windows since then (version 0.4.x or so). Just to make sure no monkey business with old install files, I uninstalled Calibre, searched for calibre folders and removed an Appdata calibre folder and reinstalled Calibre. Same disk noise whenever it runs.

Willing to provide more info/debug help if given directions on what to check for.
