No; Most of that hour is now spent checking and adjusting various features of the document to be converted, like formatting, tabs, section breaks, etc; and checking the converted document afterward, which usually requires re-converting as I always find something that was incorrectly formatted the first time. Most of the HTML work is cut-and-paste, and so doesn't take that much time.

Before I applied Dreamweaver to the HTML work, a lot of the editing had to be done one item at a time, like applying centered glyphs to indicate the break of a section (three lines of code, something the HTML's find-and-replace apparently cannot handle).

And as I said, the BD HTML editor software would sometimes experience a "brainfart," and drop a break where I did not want one, or change a format, and if I didn't catch it, I'd have to check and reconvert. With Dreamweaver, I miss items and reconvert less than before.
