Hey, Jakub. I guess you're right. I am *not* particularly patient, but I think this would probably stretch the patients of anyone: 0 $ time pybtex foo real 4m36.079s user 2m54.335s sys 0m5.476s 0 $ I guess my name for this issue isn't exactly accurate, but I would still consider taking 4 minutes to compile a single bibtex entry a bug. I'm afraid to see how long it takes on my full paper, which references a dozen similar entries! I suspect that the compilation time is somehow related to the length of the author field, which is quite long and causes regular bibtex to choke entirely. jamie.
