I have now had feedback on the update and any performance problems appear to 
be due to my relatively underpowered systems - David's machine manages a 
doxygen build 500% faster than mine. Patching did make that a little faster 
but the main performance hit seems to be my P3 700MHz.

It's just as well that all my other work is on much smaller projects!

That's understandable - I'll leave the doxygen config as is. Any performance 
gain is likely to be small compared to the actual hardware. I was 
disappointed that my iBook didn't compare favourably though. It was only a 
few percentage points better than my P3.
:-(

Maybe this also explains why rebuilding the gnucash tree from a make distclean 
every time is such a PITA for me and less of an issue for David!

My current bash script to rebuild G2 takes an hour to go from make distclean, 
through autogen, make, make clean and make install to make dist.
