It's size. And how much of that size is text rather than illustrations, as only the text is encoded. Most eBooks are about 1/100th the size of the Chambers dictionary (250KiB rather than 25MiB).

On my system most books decode in under a minute.

Anyone have any general guidelines as to how long it usually takes for scripts like this to run. Is it more dependent on size or on somthing else?
