BTW: Are you really keeping different 'buffers of moderate size' within
a single LyX instance?

And change the active buffer frequently?

This is /exactly/ what people writing Ph.D's do, one doc per chapter.


Not in the offices I know.

[But I see now how people make do with the really amazing facilities LyX
offers for jumping around in large documents quickly...]

I use one file per chapter - not because of some lyx limitation but because of:

* latex speed issues - previewing a 300 page book takes several
  minutes, a 20-page chapter alone is quick though.  There can
  be a lot of previewing to get a figure just right, and some
  chapters have more than one per page.
* cooperation issues - several people can work on
  different chapters simultaneously.
