Subject: nroff's are slow and gcc-2.3.3 patches?

I am doing a buildworld and it seems that the longest operation during
the entire compile are the nroff's. Why are they so slow (Is it becuse
of sh, libgroff, groff, etc.)? Is there any way we can speed them up
or do we have to wait for Gnu to speed up groff?
On another note, are gcc-2.3.3 compilation patches undergoing development
for the patchkit? I would like to be able to compile with -O2 optimization.
This might speed some things up. (I would rather not apply non-patchkit
patches - I have to back them out and re-apply them too many times)
Thanks,
Dave
