The job has been running for about 2 hours. I do still see occasional changes in Physical Memory Usage History in Task Manger, CPU is higher than normal (~15%) and Calibre is responsive and indicates the job is being processed via the 'Jobs: 1' and animated circle line thing in the bottom right-hand corner.

I'm wondering if this is normal behavior and should I leave this going all night? Would using a different file format (xml?) be better?

I also noticed that Windows reports the HTML file size as 54,806 KB while Calibre reports the HTML file size as 5.3 MB.
24 hours is not unheard of time, just not every day.

Textbooks/Manuals are complex, so run it till it drops. (you are going to use some of that RAM )

But why are you converting? Most devices can do HTML (the guts of a EPUB)
