This may be a coincidence, but documents with a lot of PGF/TikZ code
seems to compile faster with the CVS version.

I noticed the same thing. I tracked the problem to
pgfmanual-en-tikz-plots.tex. The 'const plot mark left' and 'const
plot mark right' keys are not defined anywhere  Comment out the lines
549 - 562 if you want the manual to compile (or wait until some of the
developers fixes it):

\begin{key}{/tikz/const plot mark left}
%  Just an alias for |/tikz/const plot|.
\begin{codeexample}[]
...
\begin{key}{/tikz/const plot mark right}
%  A variant of |/tikz/const plot| which places its mark on the right ends:
%\begin{codeexample}[]
..
%\end{key}
