Hi Nasser,
May be I just have to switch to Linux. But I have apps
I need to use on windows, that is why I am stuck on windows.
one slight issue I've found with your setup is that you use
Make:htlatex {} four times in your setup, which is more than
necessary, you need three compilations on the first run and usually
just one on the subsequent runs, as the temporary files with table of
contents and hyperlinks can be reused. Anyway, the one LaTeX
compilation takes just about 20 seconds on my computer, so it is not
that big deal. The big part of the compilation time is really Dvisvgm.
Thanks Michal. I took this file main.mk from you :). Just to make
sure I understand. Now the file has
Make:htlatex{}
Make:htlatex{}
Make:htlatex{}
Make:tex4ht{}
Make:t4ht{}
Are you saying it should be
Make:htlatex{}
Make:htlatex{}
#Make:htlatex{} --> remove this?
Make:tex4ht{}
Make:t4ht{}
The full compilation took 10 minutes on my computer (Core i3-3220
with 4 GB RAM, without SSD, native Linux), so I think there must be
something that really slows down the compilation on Windows, as you
have much more powerful computer and it takes two hours to compile
this file.
Best regards,

Thanks for trying it! I guess it is the IO then. since
both cygwin and VBox must have slower IO than native
system due to emulation. Ok. I guess I need to buy
a new PC and use Linux just to ompile latex on it.
10 minutes compared to 2 hrs is amazing time difference!
