As it stands, at least the info2html program that shipped with Nautilus
is, uhm, pretty crappy.  Everything ends up being displayed on one huge
page.  While the conversion is pretty quick, displaying that page in
Mozilla (embeded in Nautilus), or even gtkhtml, is pretty abysmally
slow.  man2html could use a bit of work too, but at least it's somewhat
better than info2html.
