If somebody want to poke at this, then perhaps this is a good starting
point:

(progn
  (require 'ox-texinfo)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert-file-contents "~/src/emacs/trunk/doc/misc/org.org")
    (setq default-directory (expand-file-name "~/src/emacs/trunk/doc/misc/"))
    (profiler-start 'cpu)
    (org-export-to-file 'texinfo "/tmp/org.texi"))
  (profiler-stop)
  (profiler-report))


        1564  19%                               - org-export-resolve-fuzzy-link

looks pretty suspicious, for instance.  (And that thing should have an
easier calling convention...)
