Just excluded what seemed excludable and got build time down to 8 minutes from 15 minutes.
Kept the following as it seems that it would allow the most important things: (session . :any) (noweb-ref . :any) (noweb . ((yes no tangle no-export strip-export))) (file . :any) (tangle . ((tangle yes no :any))) (results . ((file list vector table scalar verbatim) (raw html latex org code pp drawer) (replace silent none append prepend) (output value))) Here is what I excluded: (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'cache org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'cmdline org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'colnames org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'comments org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'dir org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'eval org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'exports org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'epilogue org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'file-desc org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'hlines org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'mkdirp org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'no-expand org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'noeval org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'noweb-sep org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'padline org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'post org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'prologue org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'rownames org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'sep org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'shebang org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'tangle-mode org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'var org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) (setq org-babel-common-header-args-w-values (assq-delete-all 'wrap org-babel-common-header-args-w-values)) Grant Rettke | ACM, ASA, FSF, IEEE, SIAM g...@wisdomandwonder.com | http://www.wisdomandwonder.com/ “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates ((λ (x) (x x)) (λ (x) (x x))) “Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.” --Thompson On Thu, Jun 19, 2014 at 7:01 PM, Grant Rettke <g...@wisdomandwonder.com> wrote: > Understood.
