I don't know why the parsing seems so slow. I experience it too and I am
on 9.8 also. I particularly notice it when a program uses a lot of large
data structures. I can get a cup of coffee before mine finishes updating,
if it does. Normally, the screen grays out, I get the windows whirling
circle, it crashes, and I have to restart it.

YES, the programs I've observed this on also have a lot of data
structures (structures of structures of arrays of structures).

I had chalked it up to downloading the copy members, it hadn't
occurred to me that it might be the structures.
