You are building CHM help, correct? If so, from recent messages in the
FPC and Lazarus mailing lists, that is your problem, not fpdoc per-se.
The CHM generation package is very very slow and very memory hungry.

I can generate full LCL docs in IPF output format (the source format
used to generate INF help files) using fpdoc, in 4 seconds. So it is
definitely not fpdoc to blame.
