Also strange to me now. I tried that for more times, and sometimes Emacs is so slow that I'm tired and then typed C-g to abort the generating process, while it's OK in other trials. The job is half-finished when I interrupt it. The signal of taking long time is Emacs prints one of the messages listed above and stops there from continuing printing. If that happens, the only way seems to be press C-g to abort it. Is it because of some bugs in garbage collection? I don't know how to find out what the problem is, so can't provide any constructive information.
