It took under 20 minutes to build everything except the documentation, while the file sagemath_doc_html-none.time says real 24m20.264s [...] with "SAGE_DOCBUILD_OPTS=' --no-plot'". If the documentation is taking longer than everything else combined, maybe we should consider distributing all of the documentation pre-built as a tarball [...]
This should be possible with https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/36730 Packages that are necessary to build the documentation could be "optional," or there could be a new type for them. Effectively we already have that -- "configure --disable-doc" disables the standard packages that are only needed by the docbuild. The standard "make" would use the pre-built tarball, while another "make" target could build the documentation from scratch. This could make the build process faster with fewer associated standard packages. Good idea. Bonus points for making incremental builds starting from the prepackaged documentation fast.
