The normal "make" does not build pdfs.
As for "info", well, that was pretty much immediate until Texinfo-5.0
came along. So you might like to downgrade to Texinfo-4.x to enjoy
a more normal speed.
I still have no idea how they managed to slow things down so much.
It feels like it's a good 100 times slower. Actual measurement will
probably show the slowdown factor to be smaller, but still the
difference is insane.
