You must have one hot computing rig

Most of my conversions take a minute plus. a few take 5 and a rare few take over 30

It wont be done before 1:00. These days some applications have started using the gpu for faster processing maybe calibre could do that to increase its conversion speed.

From personal experience I can say if she had an i7 processor it would more than likely be done in well less than 2 hours
