@RPribyl - try setting

Preferences->Behaviour->Job Priority to Low
Preferences->Miscellaneous->Max, simultaneous... jobs: to 1 and
uncheck Preferences->Miscellaneous->Limit the max. simultaneous...

When I started using a calibre about 3 years ago, I had performance and stability issues - so I changed those settings as outlined, on the basis that they are the least aggressive.

I've only had calibre crash once since then, and that was related to testing a pre-release of one of the PIs. And I'm not convinced that doing jobs serially is any slower overall than running a few jobs in parallel. And, whilst they're chugging along, I can do other things without thinking my computer has fallen into a vat of molasses.
