I am experiencing a rather annoying problem with LyX 1.4.3-5, running on XP. Every now and then (say a couple of times per hour) LyX all of a sudden stalls. lyxc.exe starts hammering the CPU at 50% for about 2 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile I cannot do a thing in LyX. Not even the LyX windows is updating. Then, after a few minutes, the CPU drops, the fan on the computer slows down, and I can resume using LyX as if nothing had happened. The frequency of these interruptions seems to be correlated to the length of the document and the number of documents opened. The more things opened, the more and longer interruptions.
Why this frustrating problem with LyX? I have tried updating to newer versions, but of some reasons I run into other problems; font problems. This is why I stick to version 1.4.3-5. Mark
