Hello,
We've been using TeX to typeset a 1200-page book, and at that size, the
time it takes to run becomes a big issue (especially with multiple
passes... about 8 on average). It takes us anywhere from 80 minutes on
our fastest machine, to 9 hours on our slowest laptop.
often there are ways to optimize the document style
In Latex, there is a package called mylatex, which allows you to create a
format consisting of your preamble. Then you can call latex with your own
format and this speeds up things.
This approach did not provide a significant speed improvement in latex for
me, and I don't know whether it will do so in context. Hans and Taco, do
you think that creating a personal format and possibly also dumping some
font related info could provide a tradeoff between processing speed and
disk space?
