Once a file has been scanned, it is not scanned again unless it has been modified or renammed. So the extra step of guessing the correct file type is done only once by incorrect file.
However, it happens once for each page when reading a comics using the online reader, so it's better to have correctly named files from the beginning (although the guessing step is very very fast).
I will not add a renaming feature to Ubooquity as it would go agains one of its core principles: "do not modify the files of the user", ever. But I have found a small tool that does just that: correcting the extension of CBR/CBZ files (it has a few other useful maintenance related features and is really simple, so it's worth a look).
The tool is ZenCBR.

Regarding performances, the current version has a bug heavily impacting reading performances when a scan is in progress. Perhaps that's why you experienced a problem.
I'll look closer at the code in charge of resizing the pages. You use Ubooquity 1.5.0, right ?
Regarding the button placement issue, I can't test it myself as the default Android browser does not exist anymore on devices running on recent Android versions (the official browser is now Chrome).
It could probably be fixed by generating better HTML/CSS than what I currently do, but if it only affects the default Android browser, I'd rather focus on other features.

A missing index has been added in Ubooquity 1.5.0.
So if you are running with this version, you already have the index.
By the way if you are adventurous and like SQL, exploring the database only requires the H2 jar and some tutorial reading.
I'll try to generate a big library (20k books is quite a collection) and do some tests on my Raspberry Pi (which should be less powerful than your NAS), but it will take time.

In fact the comic reader already reduces the image (and a little bit too aggressivly at the moment, due to a bug). The reading device sends the size of the screen and the server resizes the image before sending it over the network. The bug I was talking about limits the width of the page to 1200 pixels, but it will be fixed in 1.6.0.
As for the preloading, it is already done as well (only one page), although it is not working for all devices (for instance it doesn't work on iPad).
So the features are there but they need refining/fixing.
Next version will also contain a simplified screen for advanced preferences (simpler mostly for me) that will allow me to expose settings that I wouldn't have not exposed before for fear of overcomplexifying the interface.

On what kind of hardware (and OS) are you running Ubooquity ?

To hide the navigation you have to either:
- press "Enter", if you have a keyboard
- tap/click in the center/bottom area (the empty one)
Let me know if you still can't exit the navigation interface, as this might be a bug.Thanks for your donation. :)
