I was having a huge performance problem with a new download of 1.3.94 a couple of days ago, and just ended up avoiding the problem by going back to good old 1.3.46. Now I need a new feature in 1.3.97 and am more annoyed. Basically, I am getting at least 100x slower performance on most every .ly file I run. Eg, lilypond pushproperty.ly takes over 3 minutes. Not specific to pushproperty.ly. The stall is after the "calculating column positions" message, which used to pass in less than a second. I don't remember the exact file or numbers, but whe n I was measuring 1.3.94 it was like a 300x difference. I can't imagine that any algorithm is really taking that long. We're not talking 10^6 equations and unknowns here, so this has gotta be a suspend that's timing out or something. It would explain the (presumed) OS dependence. I'm running win98 first edition. **BTW**, these builds are missing their ice-9 directory and I have to copy them from an old release to get anything to run at all. I am presuming that since ice-9 is all scheme code this is not the source of my problem. Back to 1.3.46 . . .
