Hi Vaughan!
I’ve included a large project if anyone with a newish computer would like to test their compilation time. The main file is MDSM.ly. It takes my computer between 4 and 5 minutes to compile.
My system: ========= mainboard: asus h97 pro gamer cpu: i7-4790K, 4.00 Ghz (turbo speed: up to 4.4 GHZ,) SSD: Samsung SSD 850 PRO 512GB os: Linux, based on openSuSE Tumbleweed For the test I used lilypond 2.18.2. Compile times: ============ 1st run: 27,123 seconds 2nd run: 26,697 seconds 3rd run: 26,700 seconds 4th run: 26,901 seconds For lilypond single thread performance is critical ... the high turbo speed of the i7-4790K helps a lot. An i7-6700K will probably be slightly slower, a system built around an i7-7700K will probably be slightly faster. Put your system on a fast SSD. Nowadays there are SSDs faster than the one I use. Use HGST hard disks. cu, Knut _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
