Hi,
My manuscript takes very long to fully compile, a couple of minutes.
We don't know how long it is. If it's a thousand pages, 2 minutes
sounds about right on my computer.
I did not have the computer I am working on available when I wrote this.
It takes about 5 minutes for 200 pages.
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.
I meant: I tried with different non-overlapping parts and they took
about the same time. I'll try to experiment a bit further with cutting
it down but given the long typesetting time this takes quite a bit.
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.
Yes, I am on windows. I don't know how to create a batch file that does
the job.
LuaTeX is still typesetting my document. Seems to take ages.
