The only book I had that took over an hour to convert was a mobi to epub conversion. The final result has a chapter file for every sentence in the original mobi. The conversion took over 8 hours (not sure how long since I abandoned it at the 2 hour mark with memory used by Calibre hanging around the 5GB mark) but the next morning, the conversion had completed and I took the timestamp on the output epub as being close to the time of completion.

Sigil had issues with opening a epub with 4700 chapter files -- it took about 20 minutes to open -- but did finally open the epub and then worked happily for merging the sentence files into chapter files.

All this on a Win7 x64 system with 24GB of memory and i7 processor.

What?!?

That is NOT an arbitrary limitation. A 32-bit system can only address 4 GB of RAM, and the OS needs to reserve part of that for itself, thus the 3GB limit. 32 bit Windows DOES support PAE to have access to a full 4GB, and the reasons why it's limited to 4 GB isn't arbitrary:

Exactly. One task that I perform almost daily requires more than 8 GB, otherwise the system runs out of RAM and the task fails.
