Hi, Wow, that was fast. Klaus M?ller's comment helped. I switched off all APIs in the maker.ini file ([Preferences] API=Off). Then the update took only 5 to 10 seconds. After I switched all APIs on again and restarted FrameMaker, the book update took still only 5 to 10 seconds. Problem solved.
I do not know which of the few APIs I have installed, caused this. Anyway, now I know what to do when that happens again. Thank you very much also to all the others who tried to help (Dave Shenton, Fred Ridder).
