A slight correction: The latest code doesn't depend on Guile 2.2, but may use it if it cannot find Guile 1.8. That said, yes this incurs a possibly high penalty during runtime and probably explains the difference. To make the configure script find your Guile 1.8 interpreter, consider setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory containing guile-1.8.pc or use the old style of pointing GUILE_CONFIG to the right guile-config (discouraged). > I followed every step in here, and I got a huge lilypond binary file > (104.3MB), is it a debug building? Did I miss something? The default configuration produces a release binary (with respect to compiler optimizations), but includes debugging symbols. You can turn that off (don't remember the option right now) or run strip on the binary. In any case, this shouldn't be a problem. > For my work, the runtime efficiency is critical. Thanks for any help. If 2.21 is still slower than 2.20, please let us know - it might be a regression. Hope this helps!Jonas
