I have been using LyX for quite a while now, mainly on Mac. But these days for many of my documents LyX is just extremely slow. When I scroll, LyX just slowly scrolls line by line. I can wait for long time while it just continues to slowly scroll. And to insert math, it can take several seconds to open the math box, and then there is a long wait for every keystroke.
I have two Macs: a slower MacBook Air, and a one year top of the line iMac (the absolute fastest configuration available), and on both LyX is just behaving like a snail. It seems to be fairly recent. I doesn't seem to be every document, but I cannot find a clear reason for what makes a document slow, except for length (but we are talking 5 page documents versus one page). Perhaps one thing: many LyX comments? Has anyone else experienced this. Any ideas what I can do?
