The problem with the conversion taking ages to complete is not a CHM problem. Long conversion times often exist for any html based (ePub, html, Mobi, Lit) format that started its life as a MS Word file and was saved without the filter option. These files typically have 10s of thousands of lines of embedded CSS that needs to be sorted through and applied. Add to this the complexity of many documents and I have seen ePub conversions take up to 6 hours. Fortunately this is the exception and not the rule.
