Follow-up Comment #3, bug #68037 (group octave):

generate_lookfor_cache is slow because it processes one file at a time: it
extracts documntation section, runs makeinfo for that, goes to the next file
etc... Some packages are quite big -- statistics has 461 M files plus a few
CC.

There is an attempt to speed up this by batching the process -- first you
extract all the docs, then you run makeinfo in parallel (through "make -j").
That helps a little bit.
