You've been informed that calibre's viewer has to convert the file to a basic epub before it can view it. Also dictionaries are very cpu and memory intensive and often will not covert in calibre. This is a known limitation of calibre.

Since it doesn't have to be converted it should open quickly. If it works for you then yes you should use this instead of calibre for viewing those files types.
