And what indexing method are you using for HTML Help? Do you set
htmlhelp.use.hhk to 1?
Anyway index in HTML Help should be faster than in HTML as there is no
grouping and sorting. I noticed that HTML Help doesn't override template
for setindex. Try to add the following template into your customization
and measure times again.
<xsl:template match="setindex"/>
This should prevent stylesheet from generating HTML page with index as
index is done in other way in HTML Help.
