Really s-l-o-w configuration of rc2 on XP

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi,

I just installed rc2 using LyXWin150svnSmall-3-17.exe (after 
uninstalling rc1).  Usually I have MikTeX set to nag me about 
uninstalled packages, but this time I set it to simply skip them 
automatically.  I mention this for completeness, although I don't think 
it's the source of the problem.

When the installer got around to running the configuration script, it 
took easily ten times the normal time (normal time being about a minute 
or so, this go around being upwards of 10 minutes).  During that time, 
fc-cache.exe (which I gather is a font caching utility that's part of 
XFree) ran intermittently and hammered my CPU, although I'm not sure it 
accounts for all the extra time spent.

Don't know if anyone else experienced this, or if anything can be done 
about it, but I figured I'd pass it along.
