Memory? or CPU cycles?
If you are running out of RAM, you might consider that 512M is not good for much other than reading mail
1 to 2G on XP is sweet for Process intensive programs.
Vista or W7 the sweet spot moves UP to 3 to 4G of RAM
There is a Calibre preference to reduce Priority to LOW, which will allow othe programs (with normal Priority) to run in spite of Calibre.
