Dear Baochen Su, It is true that LyX does not use more than one thread for exporting. But even if we used more than one thread for each export, that would not help you much at all. There are two main steps in the compilation process: 1. LyX in some sense converts your .lyx file into a .tex file 2. LyX asks pdflatex (or a similar command) to turn your .tex file into a .pdf file. If you look at your process manager, you will likely see that most of the compilation time is in pdflatex, not LyX directly. pdflatex and similar tools are not part of LyX and we do not control their development. Best, Scott
