A small point: when testing we should not limit ourselves to the Userguide. IMO one of the really strong points of LyX is to be able to deal with huge documents, like books. (the UG has just 150 pages, it is like a small book). Btw, we used to test performance with UG20 (just 20 copies of UserGuide) some time (but I agree that this is kind of extreme, though). A/
