Looks very impressive. Everything antialiased. And did I see correctly
from the screenshots, that it supports directly pari (something kind of
what i suggested for lyx and maxima)...?
But if it actually runs tex after each keypress, then it really has to be
slow. Or maybe it just renders display as postscript without actually
calling TeX. (I wonder why there isn't something like display postscript
in X, ghostscript has been here for long time... maybe X folks don't like
GPL).
But I can not praise the speed of LyX either. This 800 MHz Athlon is
sometimes uncomfortable slow to handle the LyX tabulars, specially when
the cell has math. But AFAIK the tabular code is new and should improve in
time.
