LilyPond has always been a slower on Windows than under Linux, but I get worried if it is more than twice as slow. I would think the operating systems affect speed mostly through 1) the font server, 2) memory allocation, and 3) the Guile implementation.
I timed one big score, Movement 1 of <http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1793> 2.16.2 2.17.95 WinXP 2m 30s 5m 10s Fedora 1m 50s 1m 50s and do not like the 5m (although I remember version 2.12 taking 20 minutes for this movement) But the timing for another score <http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1320> comes out more evenly 2.16.2 2.17.95 WinXP 1m 15s 1m 30s Fedora 46s 39s Maybe the first example has some specific quirk, so I'll dig deeper. The big change of using skylines for placement around music does not cost much when there are no lyrics or other text placed against music. Has anyone else noticed a troublesome slowdown? _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
