Hi Chris,

Thanks for the hint. I didn't think to profile. This may be useful, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results, which are:

I may be jumping to conclusions here, and if so, please excuse me. Have
you tried profiling the export? (As in M-x profiler-start, run the
export, then M-x profiler-report?) This can shed a surprising amount of
light on why things are slow. (In my case, exporting was slow because of
a slow hook that got triggered multiple times during the exportage.)
