On my 3GHz box, the above takes 6 seconds in the Windows port of the CVS Emacs. What version of Emacs are you using (what does "M-x emacs-version RET" display)? > Am I having some config problems?

When you invoke "M-x texinfo-format-buffer", do you see in the echo area messages like the following: Formatting: Passing the argument ... Formatting: Passing a negative argument ...
