Hum... That's what I feared. We have eliminated all important

QPainter::drawText() is so slow on Mac.
There's maybe some Mac specific settings that we should set to speed up
things. Maybe limit the number of colors to 256 or something like that...
Don't forget that Bennet is using a self compiled qt, and that he links LyX
statically against it, so all Mac users use the very same qt library. If
we are lucky there is only a problem how his qt library was compiled, and
resolving that would give a nice speedup.
That would be a very easy way out :-)
Is there no official binary qt release from trolltec for OS X?
The official page does not cite any:
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/mac
But their ftp site seems to have one:
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.2.1.dmg
Bennett, you should definitely try that.
There's even a debug build if you want to do development:
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.2.1-debug-libs.dmg
