Try running calibre on a 4th gen i5-4300U (1.9 GHz) and you'll see slower without the GPU. Also, it only has 8GB RAM.
On my main laptop, I don't see a difference without the GPU in the editor using an i7-11800H (2.30 GHz) and 16GB RAM.
Now, one other thing I've noticed is memory usage. If I load an eBook in editor in the beta, it took roughly 4GB. If I load the same eBook in 8.16.2 in the editor, it took about 2GB. I don't know if this is because calibre is no longer using the GPU and thus not using the GPU's RAM or a difference in the versions of calibre.
