I've tried a few times recently to build the web-docs from CVS. I've

seems extremely long. I tried building the web-docs (after successfully
building LilyPond) from CVS ChangeLog 1.3812 ('release commit') and it
happily chugged away apparently building the website. After it had been
doing this for over 7 hours I went to bed. When I got up this morning I
saw this in the console:
Can you give me a tiny bit more of the output? It will probably say
"Failed files: <foo.ly>" somewhere.
Ok, but I'll have to run 'make web' again. I suspect it will take many
hours to get there again but I'll likely be able to send something in
the morning.
While it was working I saw that it would take a lot of time at the
points where it was converting to PNG. I didn't actually time any of
these events but it was on the order of minutes.
PNG generation has become a bit slower, because we render at higher
resolution and then scale down the image. However, this should not make
that much of a difference.
I *think* I recall that the really slow PNG generation began some ways
into the build. Can't be sure about that, though.
