Grafting it takes nearly as long. Thanks! What TexLive are you talking about? There are two TeX Live distributions in Guix: the monolithic one, i.e., `texlive', and the modular one, i.e., the set of all `texlive-*' packages. Monolithic TeX Live is not substitutable so no matter how heavily modified your Guix is, you will always rebuild it at every dependency change. My suggestion is to use modular TeX Live with a reasonable set of packages. I.e., you certainly don't need to pull `texlive-scheme-full', the modular counterpart of `texlive'.
