That's a problem of clang-ctags being slow, not Clang being *so* slow,
because Clang can compile its own sources on a fraction of time of those
98 minutes (15 minutes here on a 6 year old 4core machine, for an
optimized build.)

I'll say that parsing those 1.8 MLoc of C++ code is much more demanding
than parsing 14 MLoc of C code. And the level of analysis GNU Global
does is incomparable with a real compiler and it is a long stretch to
put it on the same tool category as Clang (or even Semantic's own
parser.)
GNU Global has its uses, but C++ auto completion needs Clang, which is
accurate but slow. I can't see how CEDET could be acceptably fast and
accurate at the same time.
