Except for lyx2lyx, 1.3x is way faster. In principle, I think the code clean-up is a *good thing* , but eventually the speed has to return and the other regressions have to be attended to. In the mean time, I think the 225 to 215 script should be part of the 1.3x release. And yes, I frequently change between large (book sized) buffers.
