remember that a full compile is requested:
pdflatex source2e
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o source2e.gls source2e.glo
makeindex -s source2e.ist source2e.idx
pdflatex source2e
time pdflatex source2e.tex > /dev/null
(only the last run is needed, at least that is how I read the page)
1.25 GHz PowerBook G4: 17.220s (user)
