I did let the NY Times script run for over an hour and it finally completed. Wow. Nice results, but that's a long time.

It would be really nice to be able to have a command line method to run these scripts so they could be fired off from a cron job.

I have also successfully converted PDF and RTF files to LRF, but every TXT file I've tried so far has frozen the app and I've had to kill the process to close it. It still says 'Jobs: 0" when it hangs and the window goes unresponsive. I didn't expect that, I thought TXT would be the easiest to convert from. Perhaps TXT files need a specific encoding?
