DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Chunking performance

| StyleSheet				Build Time		Max Memory
| Usage
| =====================================================================
| 1.54.1/chunk.xsl			46 min.		746 MB
| chunk.xsl (chunk.fast=1)	44 min.		983 MB
| chunkfast.xsl			41 min.		1,102 MB

I'm really surprised by those results. Especially for chunkfast.xsl.
Are you getting the message "Computing chunks..." at the beginning of
