The user has to download mobigen.exe and copy it into our program folder because the Mobigen people won't let it be redistributed directly.

By the way, timings and file sizes on a 700KB ePub file were:

Mobigen (normal) - 8 seconds for a 394KB .mobi file.
Mobigen (high) - 25 seconds for a 142KB .mobi file.
Calibre - 100 seconds for a 527KB .mobi file.
Which version Calibre? If it's not 0.6.0 then you need to specify the --compress option or the resulting file comes out uncompressed.
