Thanks, itimpi.

I did some further experimentation. I uploaded 6 books at once for conversion and had done whta you had recommended by setting the priority to low. It worked really well. Now there is only one book being converted at a given time instead of two books. The CPU usage is around 50%. The conversion this way is actually A LOT faster than using the normal priority. The 6 books were converted in under 55 minutes. One of them took 26 minutes, but three of them took under 5 minutes each. Best of all, I had no problem working on other things while Calibre is running the conversion.

I think now the problem is pretty much solved.

Thanks,

GT
