Oh, they rewrote it in Perl. :-/
I compared building a smaller manual with Emacs compared to makeinfo:
[larsi@building texi]$ time emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./infohack.el -f batch-makeinfo emacs-mime.texi
real 0m1.567s
user 0m1.383s
sys 0m0.141s
[larsi@building texi]$ time makeinfo emacs-mime.texi
real 0m2.885s
user 0m2.792s
sys 0m0.058s
So Emacs is now 2x faster than makeinfo. But it seems to lack some
functionality:
@indicateurl is not handled by texinfo
