However, it's interesting that you say that it was faster when you first installed LilyPond on Vista. Can you remember what version it was? Perhaps, there is some connection to the problems on XP that have just been reported, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2008-03/msg00046.html with followups? If would be interesting if one of you could try version 2.11.34 or older and see if it's faster on Vista. These older versions of the installation package are available at http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/mingw/ /Mats CDon wrote:
I have Vista on a laptop, and I see the same sort of thing. A file takes about 40 s to compile. Odd thing is that when LP was first installed, a file would compile in about 5 s, about the same as on the XP desktop . At some point, along the route of several upgrades, the problem developed. I am not sure now with which version this occured (but I am not sure it matters). Also there used to be two different font configuration files in my user folder, I guess from different versions of LP. These are not longer there, but at some point I deleted them trying to fix the problem. I have tried recent versions from the dev path, and even went back and got the last stable version. Compile is slow with them all. And none of the versions will place a font configuration file in the user folder. I suspect the source of the problem lies here. I don't think that I have changed any permissions, but Vista will on occasion do this all by itself (Trying to protect me from my own stupidity, I guess.) In any event, permissions appear to be set properly in every place that I can think of. But who knows what is hidden away... Don
