I'm running Calibre on a laptop with an i7-2720M and 6 GB of RAM, and it only takes a couple minutes for Calibre to download and convert all of my news feeds. The problem is, it takes 5-1/2 to 7 minutes to e-mail each document. When I manually attach the largest one of the .mobi files to an e-mail, it takes less than 2 minutes. The smallest one takes less than 10 seconds to manually attach to an e-mail. In both cases, I'm using a gmail account, and I'm not running any other network-intensive applications in the background. What can I do to speed up the e-mail process?
