Well this will show you where time was spent inside libX11, so if you only use LyX when you do it, it'll show the most time-expensive X11 calls LyX (or xforms etc.) makes. Without symbols though you can only get a vague idea : 00000000 5000 0.493318 (no symbol) /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1 So whatever we are doing inside libX11 it only takes up 0.5% of the time taken to load UserGuide.lyx (unoptimised build blah blah blah) regards john -- "A Mini Cooper ?
