As for my anti-virus, I never installed it on this particular Linux box. ( ubuntu jaunty jackalope -yes this one is waaay behind). I generally do not install any programs on the jaunty. I have a gig of ram and the cpu is a bit chunky @ 1.75 gHz. Mebbe that is it.

The LIT file I converted to EPUB took just over 17 minutes. This is just with my browser open, nothing else.
Goodness as Dave and Theducks says that is a very long time to convert a file!
Even on my netbook which is only 1.66ghz with 2GB of ram it only takes a minute or two for a conversion. It has ole XP SP3 on it. My Desktop which I prefer is Vista 64, Quad Core with 6GB of ram so it's much faster but still 17 minutes is way too long. When I do batches I do about 12 to 25 books at time but that's so I can verify each book has converted okay.
