Yeah, I think it's not what one would expect.  Sometimes I also hate
that the plain documentation needs to use a PHP script for displaying --
it'd probably be faster with direct access.

Because of this I just downloaded the documentation tarball from
ftp.postgresql.org... of course it's also much faster having it on a
local machine.

The problem is the site is database backed.  Someone suggested using a
replicating setup some days ago and Marc Fournier thought it was a good
idea, so hopefully it's on someone's TODO list.
