Timings below are from these two shell commands:

   find . -name 'compiled' -exec rm -rf \{\} \;
   time ~/plt-copy/bin/raco setup -j 1

For "math", I executed the commands in the "math" directory. For 
"without docs", I added "--no-docs" to the setup command.

   With docs:
   math: 15m17s =  917s (34%)
   all:  45m04s = 2704s

   Without docs:
   math: 12m38s =  758s (46%)
   all:  27m30s = 1650s

IMO, this warrants a "!!!".
