Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See

It turns out that the slowness is due to the sorting of sitemap entries, which calls `org-publish-find-date` during the comparison. But `org-publish-find-date` is not cached therefore it is called over and over for each file during the sorting process. By contrast, `org-publish-find-title` is cached and sorting alphabetically is faster. To test this assumption, I've modified `ox-publish.el` to cache `org-publish-find-date`, too, obtaining a substantial speed-up: (defun org-publish-find-date (file) (or (org-publish-cache-get-file-property file :date nil t) (let ((date (org-publish-find-date-uncached file))) (org-publish-cache-set-file-property file :date date) date))) (defun org-publish-find-date-uncached (file) "Find the date of FILE in project. This function assumes FILE is either a directory or an Org file. If FILE is an Org file and provides a DATE keyword use it. In any other case use the file system's modification time. Return time in `current-time' format." ... Is there a reason why we should not cache the date of a file, in the same way as we cache its title?
