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
