A couple more thoughts:
I usually use the "maximum compression" setting; certainly if I'm going to publish it on Amazon. However, this can take a couple of minutes per book. kindlegen uses 99% of processor while doing this; and the PC is unresponsive. I can't even play Solitaire.

Could the priority be set at "idle"? That's what the video and audio encoders I use do; they take only marginally longer to complete (as long as I don't do something else intensive at the same time), and the PC is responsive

And I've set my own ASIN in the OPF, thanks. I make a 10 character mnemonic for the title, so which cover is which is obvious, and the old AZW is overwritten which is what I want rather than having to look at the timestamps to sort out which is the newest version.
