docbook2html terribly slow
Hi List,
This is about my first steps with docbook et al...
I am using debian sarge, agt-get update && apt-get upgrade done today.
After 'apt-get install <a lot of stuff>', compiling a simple docbook
source works! Good work -- I tried this to no avail on suse linux.
However, it is SLOW! Consider this trivial example I took from some
tutorial:
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN">
<article>
<articleinfo>
<title>XML rules the world!</title>
</articleinfo>
<section>
<title>XML and DocBook do it together</title>
<para>DocBook and XML are the golden twins
of the 21st certury !</para>
</section>
</article>
Compiling this file on a Pentium-III at 450 MHz takes three minutes(!).
It does not matter whether I do docbook2html or docbook2tex...
Is this normal? If yes, this is pretty much unusable. I mean, you need
to compile your document from time to time in a normal development
cycle?
$ time docbook2html other.xml

Using stylesheet: /usr/share/docbook-utils/docbook-utils.dsl#html
