Actually, I stumbled upon something very odd: though I haven't the
exact numbers, with 2.12 my opera used to compile in ~40 minutes on
Win32, ~25 minutes on Linux64 -- but now that I have upgraded to the
latest git sources (that include Joe's recent work on vertical
spacing), it takes more than... 90 minutes!!!
(the PDF looks nicer though).

I'll investigate this problem a bit more, as I can hardly believe it myself.
