Thanks to Martin's inputs on the github issue, Sphinx 6.1.3 has released
and the issue is resolved for parallel builds.

However, for non-parallel builds, the memory hog still remains.
Again, this is a table comparing 5.3.0, 6.1.2, and 6.1.3.

====== =================================== ===============================

Note:
- The -j1 run needs an explicit option given to sphinx-build:
make SPHINXOPTS="-q -j1" htmldocs

I naively assumed that the memory hog would be resolved all together,
but that's not the case.

Martin, could you report the remaining issue to upstream Sphinx?

Thanks, Akira
