I have a fresh anecdote of practical impact of the slow documentation
crunching.
The first bit of code I try to run from the Snooze tutorial takes over 9
minutes on a fast computer, before it attempts to connect to the database.
It installs a lot of small PLaneT packages in these 9+ minutes, and
seems to spend most of that time crunching documentation.
(That's with reasonably fast Internet, PLTCOLLECTS unset, DrScheme
memory limit off, lots of RAM, and no swap space in use, otherwise idle
2GHz dual-core, on Linux.)
