I have already done many changes, but it is not finished yet, i will
send changes tomorrow late. For a quick and dirty hack, place
<protect pass=5-8>...</protect> around inclusion of l10n-lang.pl in
l10n-lang.wml.

This is indeed what i realized, version shipped with Potato has a bad
designed pass5, which has been fixed lately because this slow processing
only occurs with large files.
The problem is that a bug has been fixed in WML 1.7.4, which caused this
slowing down. The only solution to suppress this drawback was to change
alternative syntax of diversions. Up to 1.7.4, `..NAME>>' and `{#NAME:'
were equivalent, and the latter became `{#NAME#:' after WML 1.7.4.
So if you want to speed up pass5, the only solution is to upgrade pass5
to this new syntax. I do not know if something can be done now, but if
yes, download
http://www.engelschall.com/sw/wml/distrib/latest/wml_backend/p5_divert/divert.src
and replace definition for <divert> and <leave> in wml::std::tags too.
About pass9, i failed speeding it up, so any help is welcome.
