In other words: the stand-alone mobi7 portion is created by simply lopping off that which is NOT mobi7 (so to speak) from the hybrid; whereas the stand-alone kf8 needs to be stitched together from pieces of both formats in the original hybrid (especially with regard to images--which only occur once in the hybrid format). Is that about right? So guess it makes sense that in the case of a hybrid mobi that contains ONLY images (and lots of them), creating the stand-alone kf8 is going to take a lot more processing.
