Because AsciiDoc is only half of the toolchain we use. (Though in your 
defense, I made the mistake of only mentioning AsciiDoc by name, rather 
than "the AsciiDoc toolchain.") We run asciidoc's output through xmlto, 
which is just as slow and is a highly general piece of software for 
doing arbitrary transformations of XML documents. I won't say it's 
impossible to speed up xmlto as well, of course, but it's probably an 
order of magnitude more work than implementing a new parser/renderer for 
our .txt files.
