Yes, the current version of Bison is way, way too slow for large
grammars.  (Your grammar took 90 seconds for Bison to process on my
2.4 GHz Pentium 4 box.)  Fixing this is on my long list of things to do.

In the mean time you should consider installing the latest version of
GNU m4, as it's a bit faster.
