But tested with small memory (42MB running KDE) and after some use of lyx and other resources (ie, giving time to the OS to swap and stuff) calling inverse search would take 1.5 sec, and use swap. The in normal operation (256MB) my Duron 800 take 0.2 sec to call lyx -client. Using a shell script http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel&m=104596489308070&q=p3 to perform client action is definitely faster under such circumstances. João.
