This is with a P-III 1000Mhz. (lot of memory, but a laptop so the
io-subsystem is really bad..)
time ./src/lyx -x 'lyx-quit ;'
real 0m0.853s
user 0m0.460s
sys 0m0.020s
time ./src/lyx -x 'command-sequence file-open UserGuide.lyx ; lyx-quit ;'
real 0m3.483s
user 0m2.310s
sys 0m0.060s
Switching between two UserGuides is a bit slow, but acceptable.
However on a P-III 500 (f.ex.) the switching would be really anoying.
(I wouldn't think about a P-II...)
Also noticed is that cursor position is lost upon switching between
buffers. And this curosr pos should not be stored in the buffer.
We might have to do what Alfredo says: Change to caching the whole
BufferView.
