Is it just me, or the markup of the new docs is quite heavy?

alex% wget -q -O- http://docs.python.org/api/genindex.html | wc -c
77868
alex% wget -q -O- http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/genindex.html | wc -c
918359

Firefox, on my fairly recent machine, takes ~5 seconds rendering the
index of the new docs from disk, compared to a fraction of a second
for the old one.
