We don't know how long it is. If it's a thousand pages, 2 minutes sounds about right on my computer. > I have already tried to only compile parts of it but there was not > much difference. There's your first hint. One of the parts you tried compiling is taking the majority of the time. Compile the other parts and see if they go faster. If so, find which part takes all the time, then what section of that part, etc. > > Since LaTeX is running several rounds in order to get all the > references and such right, is there a way to get LyX to run less > rounds? I'm pretty sure you need exactly two runs of LaTeX. Why not try a shellscript (or if you Windows, batch file or powerscript) to build it. Also, just for fun, try using LuaTeX instead of LaTeX, and see if there are changes. Note that to use LuaTeX, you might need to change a few settings in your manuscript. SteveT
