Unfortunately, that means that slower parsers can eventually get slow down when parsing metaguided files.
Hope it helps clarifying.

thanks, a bit, I noticed if you combine it with fonts like amazon amber, bookly or OpenDylexic font, it seems make all the text look a bit too bold not just half a word on my kindle paperwhite device. should I use Remove embedded fonts in modify ePub plugin before using the Metaguide epub or when converting an epub to epub feature in calibre, so it's less bold, also I noticed some fonts cause the spacing to be tight vs more spacing in other eBooks,
I have both an Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition device, and a older Kindle paperwhite 6 gen. device, the display screen on it looks a bit different than the newer kindle like fonts are a bit different on the older screen, and also an android tablet that I use with google play books.
I think this Epub Metaguider affects each eBook a bit differently when it comes to spacing, since I noticed that fonts in some eBooks seem to cause the spacing to look different,
sometimes I also make my own ebook covers in calibre, I been trying images like oil painting prompts in bing image creator for my public domain ebooks which I didn't like the covers that came with them for my own personal ebooks, I see it as no different than using the ebook cover downloading features in calibre, I just used Canva app to add text over the bing AI images again just for my own collection of drm free public domain ebooks at home. So I don't mind redownloading the standard ebooks or project gutenberg ebooks if I need to, as I keep the images I create as covers back up to my external hard drive at this time. plus when updates come out new covers may be changed with each methods I guess, its no different than downloading metadata covers from calibre, just I like some of the images I made, and I might of messed up a few ebooks fonts or spacing in the process of doing this to them, I played with calibre features a bit.
also I might of messed up a few of my ebooks so the problem of spacing of the public domain ebooks might be my own fault. like change the normal spacing in converting it, I am not sure what I did to some of them since I have a big library of free public domain eBooks in my calibre collection.
I also tried that pixart-alpha.github.io page to create some images, but the prompts don't work the same as the Bing image creator, it has more options, and so far less of a censored on it, does not need censored prompts like image creator by designer has built into it, but it doesn't do prompts with real people so you don't have to worry about making look like anyone real even with characters like Frankenstein for example. also, you can do 1792x1024 vs Bing's 1024x1024 images, the higher resolution works great for desktop background images, or lockscreen images, for example treasure island oil painting can make good desktop or lockscreen images in windows 11 or linux depends on your desktop you might use, I use a kubuntu on my older pc at home .
an idea it would be cool if you could use PixArt-Alpha 1024px, and create random cover arts for free eBooks just an idea, or a plugin that can take the title name and authors name into a oil paint prompt or other styles of images for cover art for calibre and image a AI cover in the style of that book with this as working AI cover images plugin, I noticed it has different type of art too like anime and other things it does well from there example on its website. like oil paintings in prompts or acrylic painting of covers for prompts. it takes practice to get your prompts correct and each image creator is a bit different, so it's a learning process to use them.

I like this website for its prompt feature that can be helpful for covers or desktop images its a great website for art.
