Then I guess we are getting to the point where makeinfo 4.13 will no
longer be a viable option.  The current makeinfo, though still slower
than 4.13, is significantly faster than the original 5.x versions if
you build Texinfo with Perl extensions, and has too many useful
features to stay with 4.13.  So I urge you to upgrade.

I don't know, please ask on the Texinfo list.  And meanwhile please
revert those changes, they should not have been installed in the first
place.
