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.
