Thank you, that was a helpful data point. (My internet data rate is exactly the same as
yours.)

We need two more data points, then I can best answer your question.

1) Please attach your two fp-lib-table files, the one from ~/fp-lib-table and the one from
your project dir. To this bug report. (See add attachment or patch at bottom of web
page.) Also back them up for next step.

2) a) Pull up your ~/fp-lib-table into a text editor.
b) Remove every (lib ...) line which has (type Github) in it, by deleting with text editor.
c) Save to disk.
d) Start pcbnew, do the List All again, and time it again. Let me know the time.

With these two additional pieces of information, I can best help chart a helpful path
forward, there are a number of options I am considering.

After you have the time data point for 2), then restore your ~/fp-lib-table from the saved
off file, or from the website from 1).

I would also be curious as to the approximate size of the converted libraries, about how
many footprints per library.
