Depending on which XSLT engine you run, - setting a non-zero value for - man.charmap.use.subset may significantly - increase the time needed to process your documents. Or it may - not.

The map -contains more than 800 character mappings and can be considered the -standard roff character map for the distribution. - - -You can use the man.charmap.uri -parameter to specify a URI for the location for an alternate roff -character map to use in place of the standard roff character map -provided in the distribution. - - -Because it is not terrifically efficient to use the standard -800-character character map in full -- and for most (or all) users, -never necessary to use it in full -- the DocBook XSL Stylesheets -support a mechanism for using, within any given character map, a -subset of character mappings instead of the full set.
