I think it depends on where it points.  If it's not set and you're  
using xsltproc from MacPorts, it should default to /opt/local/etc/xml/ 
catalog which then points to all the XSL and XML stuff for docbook.   
Assuming you have the docbook-xsl and docbook-xml ports installed, you  
should have everything you need (as you've see looking at the output).

In my case it was pointed to a nonexistent catalog file (I think I was  
messing with it years ago and just left it in .bash_profile) so I  
believe it was redownloading all those docbook files again, hence the  
slowness...
