It's written for accuracy, and for ease of maintaining. I could rewrite large parts in assembly and that would make it faster and less resource intensive. But that would be a waste of my time and isn't going to happen.

If you don't like how long and intense calibre's conversion is then I would suggest you use something else more to your liking.

If you're not willing to let an application actually use the CPU and all that RAM then why have it?

If there was a real issue then your feed back would be seriously considered. As it stands now, all I see is a complaint that a CPU intensive process causes your fan to turn on and that bothers you.
