Seems to take ages. You may try with another "engine", LuaTeX is known to be the slowest option. Another idea is to split the document and "include" (not "input") the parts. For the work on some part only compile this part with "\includeonly". This keeps cross-references kind of up-to-date when compiling the complete document every now and then. A bit complex but it helped me a lot when working on a specific chapter of the thesis. (Read about the details in a LaTeX documentation.) This mechanism was invented exactly for combating long compilation times during the editing of large documents in the early LaTeX years where computers were small and slow. Günter
