Great. If nothing else, it will keep other people from asking the same
question in the future. :-)

N times a file:
I swiped the code from the program and defined two functions, one
(test_old) one for the current code and one for the new code:
test_new ()
{
for x in $=x_vals
do
for y in $=y_vals
do
printf "%3d, %3d: " $x $y
out=`mtxrun --script mtx-synctex-jd.lua --goto --direct \
--page=$page --x=$x --y=$y --tolerance=$tolerance $st_file`
echo $out
done
done
}
(The test_old was the same except for the argument to --script, which is
'synctext'.)
I defined $page=15, $tolerance=300 and $st_file to be a file with 3441
lines (there are 19 pages in total, so I was skipping a lot of stuff) and
changed x_vals and y_vals to create a lot of iterations:
x_vals=`seq 100 5 550`
y_vals=`seq 100 5 700`
and finally I ran
time (test_new > /dev/null)
and
time (test_old > /dev/null)
So mtxrun was called for each of these 11,011 times.
Not the best possible benchmark, but probably good enough to show that
adding the other two cases isn't hurtful.
Cheers.
Jim
