Probably the fastest thing would be to manually create the <ul><li> etc and wrap them around a loop calling the linker functions (Linker::link).

I'm writing a parser function extension that outputs about 5000 lines of text (an organizational chart of a company) as a nested, bulleted list.

It takes about 3 seconds (real time) for MediaWiki to render this list, which is acceptable. However, if I make it a list of links, which is more useful:
- [[User:Bob | Bob the CEO]]
** [[User:Jane | Jane Jones]] ** [[User:Mike | Mike Smith]]
the rendering time more than doubles to 6-8 seconds, which users perceive as too slow.
Is there a faster implementation for rendering a large number of links, rather than returning the wikitext list and having MediaWiki render it?
Thanks, DanB
