Hi all (or mainly the users of Unix-like systems)
after i've bought a new notebook and installed the recent
Redhat Linux system i found that an updated ConTeXt runs
very slow. First i thought that Hans had too much time
and implemented a few thousand new features that need
their time, but ...
... it is a queerer story. Here are the run times of
an example document (many inline MP graphics, 18 pages,
many terminal messages !!) on different terminal programs
for X-Windows:
gnome-terminal: 2 min 18 sec
konsole (KDE-terminal): 1 min 30 sec
xterm: 1 min 5 sec
directly on the console
(no X-Windows): 58 sec
Normally i use the first. Hmm... ;-(
Don't ask me for reasons, but if your ConTeXt is too
slow, ask yourself if you run it on the right terminal -)
Jens
