Follow up on my post:
I had upgraded to the latest version of Calibre just to see whether performance would improve. I uploaded two average length novels to convert from htm to mobi. I also tried uploading one book only for conversion. Here is a quick summary.
(1) Uploading two books to convert
The first book took 26 minutes. The second one took an additional 7 minutes. Since it was done in parallel (I use a single core laptop with 2gb RAM), the total time is 34 minutes.
It used roughly 98% of my CPU. I could not do anything else while the conversion was running.
Is there a way to turn the parallel processing off?
(2) Tried with one book only, again htm to mobi.
It took only 4 minutes! The CPU usage was 50%.
Any suggestions on converting several books at the same time?
Thanks,
GT
