Doxygen optimization

Question

I am trying to figure out how I can optimize Doxygen to run on my project in a reasonable amount of time. I have tried to use Tag files and divided my project up into subprojects so that I can parallelize/distribute the load of a Doxygen run. However, it appears that this feature is solely intended for linking to external documentation and not for joining projects in the way that I would like to.

I have used the ALLEXTERNALS tag to have my subproject class included in my main project however they are all tagged [external] and they only show up in the class list tab and not the class index or class hierarchy tab.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can parallelize/distribute Doxygen or, if not that, does anyone have any optimization tips?

Tag files can be used to link projects together, but they have their limitations in terms of integration (if the result would be the same there would be no performance advantage). That said: if you think entries are missing from the index then please file a bug report in the bug tracker.
