docfx: DOCFX Build is extremely slow - times out 1 hour limit for AppVeyor builds

Operating System: Windows

DocFX Version Used: 2.42.2

Template used: custom (based on statictoc)

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. clone the repo from github https://github.com/UbiquityDotNET/Llvm.NET/tree/f717300813a11f6bf9621dc740e7772cd783b08d (This commit point shows the problem and won’t include any workarounds I end up with for dealing with this)
  2. Open powershell command prompt to the newly cloned source location
  3. run .\Buildall.ps1

Expected Behavior: All code and docs build in a reasonable amount of time.

Actual Behavior: Total build time exceeds 1 hour on AppVeyor builds causing a failure due to time limits of 1 hour per job. Overwhelming majority of the total time is all in the DOCFX stage. (see: AppVeyor logs of failing build for more details)
