Rob,
Have you checked that it's slow the _second_ time you run a file? It will be
slow the first time it runs because it needs to build a font cache, but
successive times should not be slow.
On my Vista system, when I invoke Lilypond I get the GNU version
notice, and then.....
it sits for almost 50 seconds, apparently doing NOTHING. Then it wakes
up and processes the file. It's still usable, but it sure slows things
down.
For the sake of testing, I booted into my Vista Home Premium partition
and installed the latest Lilypond binary from the download page. I ran
a lilypond file once and it took about 90 seconds, then ran it a second
time and it took more than 60 seconds. The same file on Linux compiles
in less than 2 seconds. Honestly I don't know how anyone uses Vista as
their main OS. This is a reasonably powerful laptop less than 6 months
old with 2GB of RAM and a dual-core processor. I have all the aero eye
candy disabled and it still runs 10x slower than the 8-year-old Gateway
box in my office running Ubuntu 8.04. Man. Glad to be back on the
Linux side :)
