Checking the log, I noticed that > LyX calls pdflatex a full 5 times for my thesis First question is whether this long compile significantly slows your workflow. If not, just keep things as they are. If the compile significantly impedes your workflow, I'd suggest making yourself a compile shellscript having lyx --export and other commands. You can pretty much take LyX config out of the picture by exporting to LaTeX, and then running [pdfla|la|lua]tex once for the document, and once more for table references. It's a lot easier to optimize a shellscript than trial-and-error LyX's conversion technique, which in my opinion is more a convenience than a tool for quality. SteveT
