I am unsure concerning startup time. I think this will be a problem that is processor specific. It is important that org have a reasonable performance here, but I don't think it was a goal to have the fastest bibtex/json/etc. parser available, just a reasonable default that works out of the box. That is, it doesn't take too long to read the database for insertion, and fontification is not a performance breaker, on say a moderate sized database and org-file. Getting high performance from large databases and large files with lots of citations (say a dissertation or big review article) takes some work. -- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu Pronouns: he/him/his
