My 300 page, 108K word "Key to Everyday Excellence" takes 10 seconds to pdflatex compile, 30 seconds to ps2pdf compile. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with the following hardware: slitt@mydesk:~$ grep -A 3 "^model name" /proc/cpuinfo model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz stepping: 6 cpu MHz : 1596.000 cache size : 3072 KB model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz stepping: 6 cpu MHz : 2527.000 cache size : 3072 KB slitt@mydesk:~$ head -n2 /proc/meminfo MemTotal:4047324 kB MemFree: 101804 kB slitt@mydesk:~$ If I had a book that took 30 minutes to compile I would either: 1) Upgrade to fast multiprocessors and get 32GB of RAM, or 2) Split the book into multiple child documents. 3) Since the book's too long to read, split it into several books and sell each one. The computer in #1 is easily available for under a thousand now if you build it from Newegg or CompUSA stock components. SteveT

Today I had several times the problem that I wanted to make a picture with tikz and made some mistake in the Lyx-Code (forgot the semicolon in the end of a command). Unfortunately Lyx doesn't return a message that there is a mistake and is compiling forever. I can not even stop the program after that. As I remember Kile was also not able to stop the compiling of such a "program", but there is a button to stop the compiling. Can I stop Lyx when it is compiling? I didn't find anything inside the tutorials about that theme. And google seems not to find anything, too. Thanks! Mike It will stop after 30 minutes.

Stop Lyx compiling
Hi, Lyx-Users, is there a possibility to stop Lyx when it is compiling. Today I had several times the problem that I wanted to make a picture with tikz and made some mistake in the Lyx-Code (forgot the semicolon in the end of a command). Unfortunately Lyx doesn't return a message that there is a mistake and is compiling forever. I can not even stop the program after that. As I remember Kile was also not able to stop the compiling of such a "program", but there is a button to stop the compiling. Can I stop Lyx when it is compiling? I didn't find anything inside the tutorials about that theme. And google seems not to find anything, too. Thanks! Mike
