Retrieving metadata from PDFs is very slow
Running v5.0.88. I've noticed that when I import a PDF into my Zotero library, the metadata retrieval is much slower than it used to be. It eventually works, but it takes a lot longer than previously. Any idea why?
If you provide a Debug ID for an attempt that's slow, we can have a look.
The metadata retrieval took approximately 20 seconds.
If you temporarily disable "Automatically retrieve metadata for PDFs" in the General pane of the Zotero preferences, you should be able to distinguish between the time it takes to add them PDF and have it show as indexed in the right-hand pane and the time it takes to retrieve metadata.
For the full-text indexing issue, how big is zotero.sqlite in your Zotero data directory? How many items are in your database?
The thing is, this long indexing delay happened rather suddenly. The delay didn't get longer gradually over time. Is there a fix for something like this?
To me, the puzzling thing is how the slowdown was rather sudden. It was working quickly before, then suddenly things slowed down.

Any help would be appreciated!
