Yes, building the web site takes a long time. That is one of the reasons it takes so long to cut a release. The web site has to be built at least twice - once before the release to verify it and fix bugs, and again after the release to build the “real” web site. I would prefer a better way to do this - where the manual is part of the CMS and only the maven generated content is left over. Unfortunately, none of us has devoted much time to improving that process as we are more focused on improving the code.
