Large is 30k books (sffebooks.com).
The formats are a complete mixture.
Metadata is from filenames only.
My computer is dual core and 8gb memory.
It appears to start normally, the progress box shows the current title being imported. After leaving it running for some time (hours), the current import will stay on one book. (not always the same one) then after some more time I get the windows message something like " program has stopped responding"
