1st, i don't understand why python would stop; the memory issue? 2nd, i guess i need a new computer to convert on as 2gb ram on my laptop is max. 3rd, as the book converts, i notice that ram usage increases with the increased duration of the conversion (found in task manager).

i also have noticed that there are 2 calibre-parallel.exe processes running along with calibre.exe one calibre-parallel uses around 30mb memory and the other uses over 200mb and climbs during the conversion process. any ides why? maybe a calibre developer would step in and answer this question; but i would like to hear your take on the issue.
cheers.
