I have seen books convert in a few Minutes.
quite a few take 10 to 15 Minutes.
a small selection take hours
and Some, will take over a DAY

All on the same P4 3.2GHz w/800MHz FSB and 2G RAM (and JUST me playing Freecell or viewing MR while I wait )

Simply wait for it to Crash (or get done )

BTW IMHO Having Heuristics ON adds to the time. in most cases, the results are worth it.
