It is not a lack of processing power but it may be a lack of patience.

1%, 47%, and 67% are spots where you can expect to see calibre when you look at the job. Frequently if a job runs long it will appear stuck at one of these points. When in reality calibre is busy working at the tasks represented by those percentages. There just aren't any in between points.

As eschwartz points out you have Heuristic processing turned on and it seems as if it is chugging away at analyzing and formatting the scene breaks. Many folks have reported times as high as 24+ hours for a conversion to complete. My longest wait was 6 hours on multiple occasions.

You can run the job with Heuristic processing turned off which should speed the job up quite a bit (my six hour conversion did not have Heuristic processing turned on) and the job may complete in minutes instead of hours. Or you can set the job to run at the end of the day and just let it go until it errors or completes.
