Hey! With "instant preview" turned ON there is a noticeable performance
improvement (i.e. speed is not a problem any more). Why would that make
things run faster? (I prefer the way LyX looked with instant preview off
but I can't complain).
I wonder if maybe it's a font problem (??). Through LyX 1.4.1, LyX
relied on your having the math screen fonts installed in Windows.
Starting with 1.4.2, it ships with the necessary fonts, although the
fonts that come with LyX are a trifle funky (meaning they display
incorrect glyphs in some cases).
If you're into experimentation, you might try the following.
1. Locate the <lyx root>\Resources\fonts folder and rename it (for
instance, to "fonts$") so LyX won't find it.
2. Using Control Panel->Fonts, delete any installed fonts with names
matching the ones in the Resources\fonts directory.
3. Download the bakoma4lyx fonts from
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/BaKoMa4LyX-1.1.zip and unzip the
archive somewhere (desktop, temp directory, ...). Then use Control
Panel->Fonts to install all the unzipped fonts (after which you can
delete the unzipped files and the zip archive).
4. If you have used LyX since your last boot, reboot the system (so
that it forgets the old fonts if it has them in memory).
5. Crank up LyX (with instant preview off) and see if the speed problem
is fixed.
This is a bit of a grope in the dark, but like J-Marc I'm hard pressed
to see why your machine would be spinning its wheels in csrss.exe when
there are math insets lying around (and not with IP on), unless it's
something about the fonts in the math insets.
