Hi, What process are you using to import the AudioBooks? I just tested mine for fun, by importing 18 GB of AudioBooks, about 180 titles. The copying from the Desktop into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder took about 10 minutes or so, but other than that, iTunes did not cough or burp at all. FyI, iTunes was not open at the time of the copy. Things like Apple Music or iTunes Match which use the iCloud Music Library may cause things to lag a little, but shouldn't be show stoppers.
Simon, if possible, you may wish to divide that 1 TB up a little. Maybe into 2 or 300 GB segments and see what happens. It sounds to me like the re-organization and database writing may be taxing your system. Later...

Virtual machines, disk access, moving data around the network, everything you would want it’s blazing fast. The wireless is also quite good. Smaller disk drives may be slower depending on how these are designed but for my configuration at least things are very very fast. > On Jan 15, 2017, at 9:52 PM, jeff `greene <greenebo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi I have a 2012 mbp with an ssd.
