I'm writing a parser function extension that outputs about 5000 lines of text 
(an organizational chart of a company) as a nested, bulleted list.

* Bob the CEO
** Jane Jones
** Mike Smith
*** etc.

It takes about 3 seconds (real time) for MediaWiki to render this list, which 
is acceptable. However, if I make it a list of links, which is more useful:

* [[User:Bob | Bob the CEO]]
** [[User:Jane | Jane Jones]]
** [[User:Mike | Mike Smith]]

the rendering time more than doubles to 6-8 seconds, which users perceive as 
too slow.

Is there a faster implementation for rendering a large number of links, rather 
than returning the wikitext list and having MediaWiki render it?

Thanks,
DanB
