My document defaults are set up so that under Document > Settings >
Bibliography, Biblatex is set. I was puzzled by the length of time
compilation of even the simplest document took. Looking at the message
pane, I see that biber is always called, even when no bibliography inset
is inserted. For the first document of this session the complete biber
call took about 50 seconds (attached -- I was testing for bug #9368 on
apostrophes in filenames ). For subsequent documents it was a few
seconds, but still a noticeable delay. Should biber be called when there
is no bibliography inset inserted?
