I am doing all check out of documentation locally. The pdf file (also
rst and html) is on my computer. Note that I just upgraded my
computer. Before (Amd Phenom II, 6 cores) the Mathjax took 15 seconds
to render.

Did that include time downloading the pdf from the internet?

I also agree that the png display looks really bad.

The png math looks terrible on high resolution displays, so I am -1

I don't think 15 seconds is that bad. You will wait longer than that
for a PDF to download.

I am currently rewriting the documentation for the GA module and
because
of
the equations (more that even before) it has gotten ridiculous in
python-sphinx due to the speed of mathjax (it takes about 15 seconds to
render the documentation in Firefox ever time I open it) and the
limitations
of using latex macros in sphinx with mathjax rendering.
Indeed, I don't use mathjax for my notes in Sphinx precisely for the
reason you mentioned.
However, it is possible to use the latex png output, then it works
great. Maybe we
can switch to it with SymPy.
Would the following solution be acceptable -
Drastically simplify the sphinx documentation (basically limit it to
the
user interface for GA) and include all the explanatory math background
with
derivations and examples in a pdf document(s) (latex generated) linked
to
the sphinx documentation.
If we don't switch to the png printer in Sphinx, then I think this is
the only solution.
Question -
I know I can link pdf documents to the sphinx documents and I know I
can
further link other pdf documents to the primary pdf document if I open
the
primary pdf document in a pdf viewer like evince or acroread. However,
if
the primary pdf document is opened in the Firefox pdf viewer (as would
be
done if the document is opened from the sphinx documentation) I cannot
link
to further pdf documents. Does anyone understand this problem and know
of
an
solution to it?
I think it's because Firefox is using its own pdf viewer, so perhaps
it doesn't support it.
Aaron, is there any argument against switching to the png based math?
That fixes all these problems.

More about link python-sphinx to pdf:
The following works (in the rst file) - :download:`GA
<../LaTeX_docs/GA.pdf>`
to open GA.pdf at the beginning.
The following does not work - :download:`GA
<../LaTeX_docs/GA.pdf#page=12>`
to open GA.pdf at page 12. However if I use - :download:`GA
<../LaTeX_docs/GA.pdf>`
in the rst file and then change - _downloads/GA.pdf
in the html file to - _downloads/GA.pdf#page=12
then the link does open on page 12. Do you know of anyway to code this
directly in the rst file?
