 I think it does. When I first use info-mode in an XEmacs session, I
 have to wait a few seconds while XEmacs creates the info Top-node, but
 it does that only once. 
1) I meant: cache between two invocations of XEmacs.

2) What you describe is unfortunately not what I see.  For me, dir
   file in some cases gets regenerated every now and then.

 I don't feel this as problematic. On my Pentium 300 MHz at home it
 causes a delay of only 4 seconds when doing `M-x info' the first
 time. 
4 seconds is a lot.  If you're running on an old 486, multiply it with
ten.

It's not really acceptable IMHO.
