What does -gen_ff_mobi7 option do?
It prevents kindlegen from trying to produce a KF8 format version of the dictionary, which takes time and is useless anyway.

Also the other option should have been -dont_append_source. That prevents the original source file from being included in the MOBI output, cutting the size in about half.
