When you say "large" document, what do you mean? How large is large? Are you doing graphical conversions on huge graphical files? Is this thing the size of the Encyclopedia Britannica? I have a LyX source document for a 309 page book that compiles to PDF in ten seconds. The source file is 1.23MB. Here are my computer's stats: 2 core, 65 watt AMD A6-6400K 2core that runs at about 3Ghz, 16GB RAM, lots and lots and lots of disk space, with /usr being an SSD, about 5 years old now. Void Linux. Not an ancient cripple, but by no means state of the art. I think your first question isn't "how can I turn off the dialog", but "why does this compile take so long, and what can I do about it?"
