Hi,

Just been building CVS head and was surprised at how long it now takes
to generate the ri stuff during "make install".

Generating RI...

Files:   759
Classes: 773
Modules: 518
Methods: 7733
Elapsed: 894.759s

This is on a P4 3ghz, added to this the ruby process consumed ~500mb
of RAM / SWAP under windows. I dread to think how long it takes on a
slower machine.

It appears to be picking up every under the sun but when you look at
say "ri -c" it really doesn't look like there are 773 classes there.
The attached (gzipped) file is a list of all the is currently found in
/usr/local/share/ri

Is trying to doc everything really the intended behaviour?
