Some people have reported extremely long build times for the SGML docs 
(e.g. on the order of a week of CPU time, in some cases). As far as I 
know, this is a problem with the SGML toolchain, not the Postgres 
documentation itself.

You can get the prebuilt PDFs from:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/

If you need to build them yourself, be prepared for it to take quite 
some time...
