manawydan - re startup times - have you tried doing a defrag on the drive where the library is located ?

What do you think?
Not quite sure how to do it though - Calibre can display all e.g. German language files and I can mark them. And? Create Library and Copy these books to the newly created one?

How about
- create a new Library based on existing one
- use the Copy to library function to move books in batches - I would start with 200, and increase to 500 after first 1000.
- after each batch check run Library Maintenance->Check library function - it should always get a clean bill of health - I think
- do a library backup as previously suggested after each batch
I don't even like having separate 'books' for different languages, let alone separate libraries. So I coerce all versions of the same work (languages, editions, medium etc) into the same 'book'
