    It's going to take a very long time and yes, it'll be safe to cancel if you want. I think it's a waste of time and probably not needed, in my opinion.

    Don't waste your time doing the battery calibration on a new system....... What that's for is basically older systems. When your system gets to be a year old, your battery may only charge to 90% or something. What that does is it recalibrates the system so that it sees that a 90% charge is really at much as it'll charge to and it will reset the system to show that as 100%. It won't increase your battery life, but it'll give you a better read on what life is life.
