I don't know.

As we use tag from many areas which DocBook DTD covers it will be hard
to find modules which we can remove and still process phpdoc. IMHO
problem is not in a number of templates but in a large source XML
document. When you are chunking, stylesheets are performing many queries
against document tree in order to calculate chunks, links to prev/next
chunk to generate ToC and so on. This can't be made faster by removing
several templates from stylesheet.
Yesterday Norm added new feature for controlling chunking. I hadn't yet
looket at how it works internataly, but chunking is driven by external
ToC file which is pregenerated from source document. This might speed
chunking especially when duing multiple chunking outputs at time -- HTML
and HTML Help. But as I said, this is only speculation, I hadn't played
with that.
