It's a serious annoyance for me, since I have a quad-core system. Building the docs for GUB takes at least twice as long as generating all the binaries and their installers! I don't think it would be hard to fix this issue for anybody who knows python, but I'm too busy putting out fires to take a look at it. :( Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
