I've had some issues similar to this, although none of my timings are as long as you describe. I often create plots with matplotlib. I believe that if you draw, say a scatterplot with 10^6 data points, the resulting pdf will contain 10^6 instructions to draw points. This may cause slow

Steve, On the Mac I do brew install --cask pdf-squeezer works well, and so I bought the license. Comes even with a command line utility so it went straight into the Makefile :-)-O I must confess, I have a 3.9 MB accounting software of which I only need the installation part which is

This is not a problem of the text content. When you create a points plot in R, it puts the information about all the points in the exported PDF figure, even if many of them correspond to the same coordinates. It does not « flatten » the pdf figure. When you plot millions of points, that

What does "slowly" mean? One could try the "draft" option (of graphicx) which should speed things up until the production runs. For my big handbook (which takes 110 seconds to compile (70 on the M1)) I have split this into child documents which compile individually within 10 to 15 seconds.

Most of the graphics I import into a LyX document are PDFs. When the data sets are large they load slowly. When I create a figure float I see that it's converted to a preferred format. Would these figures load more quickly if they were pre-converted? What is the preferred format? TIA, Rich --
