question about anchor database

[Hideki IWAMOTO]

I timed the execution time of htags using each of three formats of tags files.
Source code is linux-2.4.20. -D and -c of htags were used.

As for any format, creation of an anchor database has taken time most.
Is this a result as expected?
Even if it takes time like this, is there any meaning which makes an anchor 
database?
