Does it? What is the sequential component? Probably input parsing.
Although even for that you do not have to parse everything before
formatting the first paragraph. How much is the time spent in input
parsing?
I think it might be a lot for those inputs that take a lot of time (at
least I have a TeX source that collects data from several files and
then produces a document from that, and that takes a lot more time
than the Gforth manual which produces a document that has six times as
many pages. Looking at your numbers, the ngspice manual might also be
such a case. I guess one would need other speedup techniques for that
(and parallelizing would probably not be the one to try first).
