A -current box should have 1421 different manpages right now. If I
include the manpages retired during the last months, the count rises to
1453.

Unfortunately, many manpages (451 of them) are installed two or more times.
If you include these additonal manpages, you'll end with approx. 3500
entities. builtins(1), queue(3) and rpc(3) are the worst offenders.

I've been using a man-refs.ent with 3514 entities for a couple days now.
The build time for the handbook increased by almost 2 seconds from
2 minutes 57 seconds to 2 minutes 59 seconds; I couldn't detect an
increase of the build time for the FAQ.

The size of man-refs.ent increases from 17 KByte (220 entities) to
281961 Kbyte (all 3514 entities).  The memory foorprint of jade was
approx. 32 MBytes in both cases.
