I sort of raised two issues in my ramblings above. One was sigil too slow. That's been largely fixed by not having 20 or more images on a single page. There was one 3000 pixel wide image I put on its own page, all by itself. The slowdown is manageable now.
The other issue was my (eventual) desire to write how-to-do-it books with large amounts of embedded video. Perhaps I should have waited a week and put that in a separate thread. I think that's going to need a new technology. Like a PHP plugin to unzip an epub on a webserver. And serve it up as a website that reads epub and looks and acts like it would in hand held reader.
I'll get back to this tomorrow. Do what you suggested.

As an aside, not directly related to Sigil issues (Diap, please don't beat me), you might look into Adobe's RoboHelp. It's a quite remarkable little thing. I bring this up because of your comment:

You can create an entire manual in RoboHelp; you can host it online, or you can export the content, selectively or all, into ePUB and MOBI formats. Granted, you can make ePUB/MOBI with Jutoh, but you can't do what RH can do, online, with it.
It's pricey to buy ($1K), but you can lease it for a mere $30/month. I'm in the middle of a massive renovation of our own FAQ/Data system, and that's the method I've chosen to use.
