*Every*time* I first launch a new version of LyX, something like this happens:
LyX hangs, using about 5K of RAM. Force quit. Relaunch. Lyx stalls with maybe 5 MB RAM but two luatex processes start up. Over a few minutes, they ramp up so that each consumes 200+ MB and up to nearly 100% CPU usage. (I have two cores.) The RAM and CPU usage vary somewhat, and take a few minutes to reach those numbers. I force-quit both luatex and LyX itself. Relaunch. One luatex process starts, along with LyX which is unresponsive. The luatex process crashes after a few minutes. I force-quit LyX. Relaunch, and then LyX runs normally. This has happened for a long time, over several dev and release versions of LyX. However, this process has always terminated with LyX running successfully. This just happened with 2.2.0beta2. Jerry
