You jest, but the size of the book has little to do with conversion times.

Is this kind of disparity of timing normal?
Yes this kind of disparity is normal.

Text to ePub should progress quickly although if I recall correctly certain heuristic processing can take a long time.

Most the disparity is converting certain htm or Lit files to ePubs. Some books initially created in MS Word often have a crap load of extra CSS and font-face items that need to be processed. I have had more than one book take close to 6 hours.

Don't let the 1% get you down, it is often not accurate and will jump from 1% to 40% to 70% to complete.

Good Luck.
