I'm still working on my doxylink extension [1] and it's reached the level of power now when speed is becoming an issue.
The way doxylink works is that it scans an XML file generated by Doxygen (called a 'tag file') and pulls out C++ symbols. It puts them into a dictionary which maps symbol names to the location of the HTML file documenting them. The problem I'm now facing is that the parsing of the XML file can take quite some time (~6 seconds for openbabel, up to ~45 seconds for OGRE3D and obviously even more for larger projects). What I'd like to be able to do is cache this mapping dictionary to disk (pickled I guess) so that it only needs to be parsed on the first Sphinx run. Of course, this pickled file will need to be regenerated whenever the tag file has changed and all the roles provided by doxylink will need to be re-processed. While parts of this can obviously be done with plain Python, I was wondering how it should be done within the framework of Sphinx. This is particularly needed in order to re-evaluate the roles when the file has changed.
