Joy Yang has been working on some fixes for s7 (for example fixing LaTeX export and a segfault) here: https://github.com/326623/texmacs-1/commits/s7-qt5 It seems that HTML conversion is still broken in s7. Joy has also reported excessive memory usage in s7 (>1GB for a 1 page document): https://github.com/texmacs/texmacs/pull/56 I haven't seen such an extreme case myself, but I do see more memory usage. For example, after loading the user manual (Help -> Full manuals -> User manual) in a newly started TeXmacs, I get 681.2MB in s7 versus 518.1MB in guile-1.8 and 453.5MB in guile-3.0. I have also done a few simple benchmarks to test the speed of the different Scheme implementations: 1) running `(benchmark-manual)` function from here: https://github.com/texmacs/texmacs/blob/981a14ad8d0ea88031e318cd7c7e5804058580b3/TeXmacs/progs/init-texmacs-s7.scm#L510 2) running `time texmacs -q` 3) converting a large TeXmacs file to LaTeX `time texmacs -c in.tm out.tex -q` The findings from my limited experiment are that guile-3.0 (3.497s, 0.678s, 4.853s resp.) is currently faster than guile-1.8 (4.437s, 0.997s, 6.379s) and s7 (3.686s, 0.973s, 12.300s). I found the slow LaTeX conversion in s7 quite surprising. Maybe there is an underlying issue there. I should say that for guile-3.0 to be this fast, the auto-compile feature needs to be used (the default setting), if it is run without (GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0) then guile-3.0 becomes the slowest of all. Auto- compilation does mean a delay of maybe 10 to 20 seconds on the first run of TeXmacs, though, during which TeXmacs seems to hang from the user's point of view. > I already noted that none of the plug-ins are recognized.
