I haven't had a epub to mobi conversion hang up and quit but any conversion to mobi runs at a snails pace. Sometimes taking 6-7 minutes to complete. However, I have had the viewer hang up trying to display a mobi file.

I converted a 2.4MB epub to a 3.8MB mobi file that took at least 10 minutes (I didn;t time it). When I displayed them with the viewer the epub file was ready to read in a second or two. The mobi file took 6.5 minutes before it could be read (FBReader was ready to read the same file almost immediately). The viewers reflow is painfully slow on the file when I resize the window or when I display or hide the TOC (not so on the epub version).

I am running Calibre 7.23 and get the same result on my Windows7 or Vista machines.

Having converted that many books, I have marveled at how good is epub in keeping the file size low...
