Could any of you seeing this problem try to install version 2.11.43-2 from
http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/mingw/lilypond-2.11.43-2.mingw.exe
and see if it has the same problems. It's probably a good idea to remove
all files related
to the font cache first, so they don't interfere with the result.
Also, could you confirm if you run with full administrator privileges or
as an ordinary user?

I installed version 2.11.43-2 and had exactly the same problem as
before. I suppose I uninstalled the previous copy correctly, but it's
been several years since I used Windows regularly and don't really know
much about how it works. I used the add/remove programs feature of the
control panel, chose Lilypond, and clicked "uninstall." The uninstaller
ran (took a really long time--is this normal? Like 3-4 minutes, whereas
on Linux it's about one second) and it said it was successful. Before I
ran the uninstaller I deleted the cache files from the 2.11.63-1
installation.
While Vista does run much slower in general than my Linux machines, I
don't think it's the OS slowing Lilypond down in this case. I'm pretty
sure there's no virus problems either since I hardly ever connect to the
net while on Windows. The fontconfig cache file is definitely being
modified each time (rebuilt, I suppose) because the time/date stamp on
it changes every time I run a .ly file. I suspect this is the problem
but have no idea what to do about it. Is there anything else I should try?

p.s. BTW Lilypond also runs kind of slow on my Macs, but not nearly as
slow as on Vista. It's not slow enough where I'd think there was any
real problem.
