On my thinkpad, if I do this:

> cd /D C:\gump\work>timex 
> call publish ..\project\jakarta-avalon-site.xml C:\jakarta\log\module_jakarta-avalon-site.html  

The elapsed time is 0.38 seconds.  Furthermore, if I do this:

 > cd /D C:\gump\work
 > puball ..\rubypad.xml

The *entire* step completes in 73.59 seconds.

Looking in the other direction, publish.bat is merely a bunch of echo 
statements, and one call out to perl.  Try just running the perl step, thus:

> perl map.pl ..\project\jakarta-avalon-site.xml

On my machine, that takes 0.17 seconds.
