Ug. I hope not. I haven't seen this happen on Mac OS. Can any other
Windows users comment?

Yes, it seems abnormally long. It definitely takes a long time, and
it's definitely one of the next major things we have to tackle, but 10
minutes is way out of the box of what I've seen it do. (We also
obviously need to include some kind of download progress indicator).
FWIW, an install takes around 50 seconds here on my cable modem if I
have to refresh the source index. Way too long, but not nearly 10
minutes.

With the current version of RubyGems, it's up to the gem author to
specify rdoc options in the gem spec. Users don't get to choose. We
could definitely add that to the feature list for a future release.
