Noticed some conversion problems in 8.0.336, converting .wav to mp3 VBR normal/high. Normalization at 90% selected. Nothing else of note going on in background. Long time to normalize (3-4 minutes), long time to convert (10-20 minutes for 10-minute file), frequently a crash with the following error message:
MEDIA JUKEBOX caused a general protection fault

(memory usage was lower during conversion process)
I know that converting/encoding with mp3 VBR is slower, but don't recall it being that slow.
HTH
