Have you *tried* to use Calibre to convert from .lit?

It takes forever. In some cases I have been waiting 25 minutes for a single file to convert. Then I stopped the conversion and used commandline utility called convertlit. With convertlit the same file takes a few seconds. When I asked Kovid, he said that Calibre checks for more things and his conversion does better job and that he is satisfied with the speed of conversion. So I installed lit2epub package and wrote shell script that converts all .lit files in directory.
