Welp, I've tried everything I can think of (rebooting, minimal apps running, updating hardware drivers, etc) but CloneBD still takes 10-20 hours to convert every disk I've tried. I guess I'll just set it aside and wait for an update that will hopefully fix the problem.
If you wanted to give it one last try you could download and run process explorer, to see what is using up all your ram?

There is a guide here on using process explorer;

The 3820 is a 4 core with hyper-threading, not an 8 core CPU. The 3.8 is the turbo boost speed which may drop back down to base clock speed during the encode.My system has an i7-3820 (8-core) clocked by dxdiag at 3.8GHz, 16GB RAM and an NVidia GTX 670 (4GB internal RAM).

I get five instances of Drone.libav.exe in my process list when I start the conversion (folder files -> MP4). I selectively killed a couple of them with no apparent issues but killing a third instance caused CloneBD to immediatly fail with an error. It was an interesting idea, though.

1) Boot system (Windows 7), Skype will load and run, as will AnyDVD HD and Avast.
2) Once booted and AnyDVD has scanned the drive, run CloneBD. The disc is in the BD drive.
3) in CloneBD, I click on the drive (third icon on the right).
4) I click "Convert for a device". I leave everything else as it is (MP4 container, etc), and then "Continue".
5) I select the main feature and uncheck all subtitles. I click "Begin Conversion".
I've ripped stuff in the past using RipBot on this same machine and that tool never took more than two or three hours to rip anything.
Going by the rest of his specs it's not a laptop CPU it's a Sandybridge-e. The laptop CPU had a turbo of 3.7 with a base speed of 2.7The i7 3820 laptop processor only has 4 cores but has 8 threads, very good processor .

I know I just built a i7-5960X Haswell-E 8-Core 3.0GHz LGA 2011-v3 rig and I never even heard of that processor because the 3770K is LGA 1155. Its still a 300USD chipset and a good one for any purposes that you would need to handle most applications.It's the lowest one you can get for the 2011 pin board
