i am writing a math document in LyX and as the document gets longer, it
takes lyx longer and longer to get started.
Today I measured the time - it takes 3 min and 35 seconds before Lyx
allows me to start the first editing steps. Until that essentially
everything freezes. The Task-manager shows that lyx.exe and csrss.exe are
taking up 99-100% of CPU-time. Lyx takes between 70 and 80% and csrss
takes the rest.
(I am running XP on a 2.4 GHz with 1024 MB)
I am using Lyx 1.4.3-4. and have instant preview activated.
I also use the latest Lyx under Windows and tested this with my large
math manual:

I can open the file with lots of math in 2 seconds. Editing is
immediately possible.
The problem is Instant preview: When I have this enabled it takes 1min30
until I can edit the document. It seems that dvipng, that is used to
convert the DVI-snipptes of the formulas to PNG, that are then displayed
(or reconverted to a format that LyX can display?) in LyX, needs some
time to do this.
But once I can edit the document, I can scroll down and the previews are
created very fast.
For my document there are 14 PNG-images and a DVI with 541 snippets in
the temp folder. Of course it needs some time to generate them so I'm
not surprized about the long loading time.
So to avoid the problems, turn off Instant preview.
