I've used doxygen for a completely unrelated project and sometimes had
it chew up huge amounts of CPU cycles.  Eventually I tracked it down to
handling of self-referential symbolic links.  (A symlink in a directory
pointing to ".".)  Doxygen would just keep following the symlink and
re-making the same docs over and over, until it hit a maximum depth
and then just stop, but it would take a very very long time to do so.

This was a couple of years ago, and I don't know if it still does this,
but you may want to look and see what it's doing.
