It's obvious to me that the trouble is that Calibre is written in Python, which is hard to believe, but there it is. Calibre has been converting a bunch of books for a week now. CPU has been stuck on 100% the whole time, it is currently using about 1.2 gigabytes of RAM and the machine is barely able to do web browsing never mind anything serious. Some idiot accused me of trolling, nothing of the sort, I just cannot understand how anybody could have used Python for this, it was never intended for this sort of thing. Apart from the resource-hogging and speed issues, Calibre has destroyed the original directory structure and the books are now sorted by title not author/title.

I would like to know if there is another converter for PDF to ePub that doesn't have these issues?
