Dear Jean-Marc Thanks for your offer to look even more into speed. To be honest, for me speed is perfectly fine now. Cut & copy does have a small lag (about a second) and find & replace in math a lag of perhaps 2 second when successive replacements are nearby. But I can’t say that this bothers me at all, because I don’t use this much when I am in a train, and at home I have a proper laptop, where I never hat any Lyx related speed issue. I also believe that my small, almost 6 year old travel computer has a very slow chip by any recent standards (it was marketed as Pentium). I am absolutely happy with the speed you have achieved!
