I can't speak to your experiment and have little doubt that a SSD would speed things up, but I recently converted 9000 ePubs on my I7 computer and I averaged just over 2000 books an hour. It was sweet seeing all 8 cores churning away converting those books. The machine also has a SATA III 6gps drive. Even so there were a couple of books that took longer than 10 minutes, I don't have a terminate time limit set.
