Hello, I just installed lyx 144 sucessfully on a macbook core duo.
Opening and working on a document with 40 pages was no problem
(well
scrolling up and down was a bit sluggish...) But when I opened a
document with 290 pages and about 80 figures lyx hangs itself at the
first attempt. At the second it opened the document but when I
tried
the pdf-preview I had to close Lyx after waiting for 3 minutes with
the fan running like a hair blower. Is this a known issue for the
mac? I know that lyx is much slower on windows than on linux but I
thought with OS X beeing close to linux it would be as fast as with
linux... regards robert
There seem to be two issues you're describing. One is the "hang" when
opening a large document. Since that occurred only once (as you
describe it), it's hard to know what the cause is.
Computing LaTeX fonts?
Not when simply opening the document within LyX, of course. (Perhaps
that's an explanation for the typesetting slowdown; if so, then it
should happen only once and be much faster on subsequent runs.)
