That's not what I see here.  Org is already byte-compiled when the Org
manual is generated.  So this cannot be the reason.

Which earlier versions?  Does that include Emacs 29?

Anyway, something has clearly changed, since it never took so long,
AFAIR.  Did the Org manual in the version that is now on the emacs-30
branch change significantly wrt what we had in Emacs 29?
