The first time I run Calibre after a system restart, if I do a search it takes 1--2 minutes for the results. After that it is 1--2 seconds. Frequently the screen dims and says Calibre is not responding, but if I wait long enough, it comes back with the search results. This occurs only the first time following a system restart, and is 100.00% repeatable. If I had to guess, I would say that it is rebuilding an index file each time the program starts up following a system restart, thus the delay.

Calibre makes it so difficult to file a bug report that I have more than once given up in frustration.

This problem began with my new computer running Windows 8.1, and I don't know if this is really a Calibre bug or just something wonky with my computer.

Does anybody else have problems with Calibre on Windows 8.1?
