With something like an Intel Atom 1.6GHz CPU, it takes about a minute to process our 380 page book through LaTeX -> DVI -> final output. It's also not something you can do 'well' in pieces, since obviously what happens before influences the positioning of everything ahead.

What I'm wondering though now is, why can't something like Calibre do the preprocessing into a high quality output format like PDF that's specifically tailored to the device it's being transferred to?
