+By default, when Read the Docs runs Sphinx it passes a different output directory for the generated/parsed doctrees
+(the argument ``-d _build/doctrees-{builder}`` is passed to ``sphinx-build``).
+While this is a way to ensure that all the outputs are generated from scratch,
+it may cause your builds to be slow if you have a big set of documentation and builds multiple formats.
+In that case, enabling ``SHARE_SPHINX_DOCTREE`` could help to speed up your builds by sharing the doctree among all the formats.
