Can you identify why it takes so long?
Are you splitting it up by chapter? I would certainly expect that a
per-chapter rendering would take less time (at least per chapter),
unless the document contains a lot of cross-references.
Usually the reason I need to do frequent document compiles is to make
sure I'm getting my equations right -- if you could configure Lyx to
not compile the references (or whatever it is that is slow and that
you don't need on an immediate basis) when you build per-chapter, then
perhaps your speed will go up?
Quoting Daniel <xraco...@gmx.de>:
Hi,
My manuscript takes very long to fully compile, a couple of minutes.
I have already tried to only compile parts of it but there was not
much difference.
Since LaTeX is running several rounds in order to get all the
references and such right, is there a way to get LyX to run less
rounds?
