I'm currently working on an early 2008 Macbook with 4 gb of RAM. I
am running OS X 10.6.0 and Lyx 1.6.4.1. I've been writing some very
long documents in Lyx and once they are more than a few pages long
typing becomes excruciatingly slow. That is, I type and the
characters appearing on the screen lag the keystrokes by several
seconds. I was also having the same issue both with earlier
versions of Lyx and with OS X 10.5.*, though it seemed a bit more
mild with Leopard.
I do not have the view source window open. I started typing the
document with instant preview off for math but after reading some
of the questions on the mailing list I've turned instant preview
on. The typing remains very slow and also the preview for math
doesn't seem to want to work (i.e., all math remains text instead of
previewed as typeset).
I've read through the mailing list to see if I could find a solution
to this problem but nothing seemed to work. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
FWIW, I am running LyX 1.6.4.1 on 10.6 and haven't seen any of these
problems (only the pseudo-crash that has been mentioned previously).
So this is likely not a universal problem, but perhaps a problem
related to your system in particular?
