Hi All,
I'm having real problems working with LyX and child document. It's
very very slow when typing text.
As a test I made a file on a local disk, that includes another
file (also on a local disk).
Whenever I start typing, the network usage rises to 1.5-2% (20 times
as much as listening to radio). I only have my windows home directory
on a network share (and thus an almost empty directory structure of
LyX is there). Besides this, I don't know of any reason that LyX might
want to access the network.
Anyone an idea why LyX accesses the network heavily ?
Do you have any way of capturing the network traffic? I.e., similar to
ethereal and the like on Linux?
I assume this happens only with LyX? I.e., you don't have some
key-grabbing virus on your machine? (Silly question, I know, but....)
Is LyX's tempdir on the remote machine? If so, you could try starting
LyX with "-userdir LOCAL" and see if you get the same problem.
But even still, it's hard to see why this much network traffic would
slow LyX down so much.
Another idea: Is there any way this could be related to math or graphics
preview? What if there were pictures or something of the sort stored on
the remote drive that LyX is accessing to check modtimes etc? If you're
using those, try turning them off.
