So the net gain is 1 minute, i.e. roughly a 25% improvement... I'd like to have this in the makefile. Speaking about compilation times... long ago Borland's C++ compiler had something they called 'precompiled header-files' (or something like that), where the sort of had a cache of parsed header files. Is this something that could be used for LyX? /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
