I don't know enough about Mobi/Epub differences to know what got lost in translation to make it so much faster, but I'm happy.
Out of curiosity I converted the Twain file with calibre last night. On my computer it took 6 hrs & 14 min! The epub is much faster in calibre's viewer--5 min to open the original mobi/prc file and only 20-30 seconds to open the epub.
