You can try 2 things.

1. Go to the preferences, general tab and set job priority to low.

2. If that isn't enough you can also use the attached batch file to start calibre. Just drop it in the Calibre program directory. And create a shortcut to it.

All it has in it is

Code:
@echo OFF

REM Start up the calibre program.
REM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REM
REM The use of 'belownormal' priority helps keep the system
REM responsive while Calibre is running.  Within Calibre itself
REM the backgound processes should be set to run with 'low' priority.
REM Using the START command means that once Calibre has launched
REM then the batch file exits. 

START /belownormal Calibre
It is a small subset of itimpi's batch file he uses to set various environment varibles.

I hope this keeps you singing.
