I mentioned a while ago that I'd been working on a complete score for "The
Mikado". I've now completed it, bar the overture. At a global staff size
of 16 point, it comes to 143 pages. I compiled it on an XP Pro virtual
machine running on my Vista Home-64 system - partly so that nothing else
impinged on the compile, and partly so I could use the Performance monitor
to check memory usage - this doesn't work on my Vista installation. The
VM
had 2 Gigs of memory.
It took almost exactly 1500 seconds to compile on 2.13.35. Peak virtual
memory was 1.3 Gigs. It's not a single \new Score, but one per song in
the
show - 24 in total. However, just to make breaking calcs slightly more
difficult, each song runs on from the previous - no pagebreaks.
The graph below shows how memory was allocated by LP.
