Hi, i am writing a math document in LyX and as the document gets longer, it takes lyx longer and longer to get started.
Today I measured the time - it takes 3 min and 35 seconds before Lyx allows me to start the first editing steps. Until that essentially everything freezes. The Task-manager shows that lyx.exe and csrss.exe are taking up 99-100% of CPU-time. Lyx takes between 70 and 80% and csrss takes the rest. (I am running XP on a 2.4 GHz with 1024 MB) I am using Lyx 1.4.3-4. and have instant preview activated. Even after that long starting perid, I have to wait several seconds for each screenfull that I am trying to scroll, apparently since instant preview is always preparing the png-files. So I am asking myself - if after 3:35 min these png-files have not been prepared, what has Lyx been doing all the time ? But my question is more serious than that - will Lyx be able to deal with my document as it gets larger than the 63 pages of pdf that I have now. I assume that I will run up to about 100 pages in the end. Will that turn out to be too much for Lyx ? Best regards, H.Peter Gumm
