I always thought this was an issue with ePUB so I steered clear of ePUB. But after downloading some very large ePUB from Google and Feedbooks I realize it was calibre all along.
Now the LIT, MOBI, LRF files that calibre produces are excellent.

The quality of the EPUB that calibre produces depends on the quality of the input you give it. There is nothing "bloated" or "slow" about EPUB files created by calibre. Basically calibre's philosophy is to make as few changes to your input HTML as possible, unlike say feedbooks, which insist on allowing only a very small and well defined subset of features in your input HTML.
