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 :)
Added to my FAQ. http://lilypondwiki.tuxfamily.org/index.php?
title=FAQ
Any ideas for a better A to this Q?
Your answer has one tip (also mentioned previously in this thread)
that I haven't tried--I haven't deleted the fontconfig cache. I'll
try to find it, delete, reinstall, and run again to see if it
improves performance.
That would slow it down. Lilypond creates the fontconfig cache the
first time it runs. Deleting it would mean that lilypond would need to
recreate it, thus increasing processing time.
