Hi all, I set up a cloud storage space with Webdav access and put on it the Calibre library. In this way I can share it with on different devices. It works but I noticed the things are a little slow. I know that Webdav is slow by itself but there is a huge difference while accessing the folders in the cloud via the Finder if compared to Calibre behavior. So I did some tests and collected the I/o information. Following the results of a test run.

What I did at 4,5,8 was to Open/close the panel where is showed the Book cover and summary.
In my opinion there is some unnecessary I/O in several points.
Why perform 42 Reads for 512.114 bytes while just clicking on a line with the preview panel closed?
In any case In my opinion there are several unnecessary reads from the disk that could be optimized.
I'll perform other tests and submit more results.
Thanks. Ciao.
