Yao, The javadoc task uses the javadoc tool which I believe takes up the most time. I don't think we can do much about the tool itself. If, however, you believe there is a performance problem with the ant task, let me know. In general, I have found that we compile often but javadoc rarely so that the performance of the task is not of great concern.
