I've edited and converted many of the Delphi Classic omnibuses (and none of them took several hours to convert, especially with my new computer).
With my old computer, many of the large omnibuses that I've created would take up to two hours to convert, and some of them would end up crashing Calibre.
But with my new computer that I built with very good hardware at the time in November (Samsung 500GB SSD, Intel i7 8700K CPU, EVGA 850 watt power supply, Gigabyte Z370 Gaming motherboard, LeGrand Macho with fan TY-147B), none of the large omnibuses I've created have crashed, and it usually takes about 15 to 25 minutes for them to convert (including the Delphi Classic omnibuses).
My point was that the file being discussed in this thread failed to convert on my new computer after 35 seconds, when trying to convert it to several different formats (from MOBI). I've never had this happen before, and I've created and converted hundreds of large omnibuses, many of which are much larger than the file being discussed. I believe there is something in this file that Convert can't handle. I guess we will find out when the OP posts about what happened with his conversion.
