Re: LilyPond is excessively slow on Windows Vista

[Hajo Dezelski]

Hello,

dont beat the messenger, its the donkey:

Sometimes ago I had the same problem and I messured the compilation times of one and the same lilypond music file.

model                age       OS           Processor      memory    Compiletimet

Thinkpad x21    ca. 10    XP           700 MHz        392 MB                 20 s
Thinkpad T42    ca.  3    XP            1,7 GHz        500 MB                  12 s
Thinkpad x61s    New    VISTA        Dual 1,6 GHz    1 GB                  67 s - 90 s
Thinkpad x61s    New    VISTA        Dual 1,6 GHz    2 GB                  49 s - 76 s
Thinkpad x61s    New    Ubuntu (Linux)    Dual 1,6 GHz    2 GB        4-5 s
Thinkpad x61s    New    XP             Dual 1,6 GHz    2 GB                  2 s

Mac Powerbook    ca. 4    OSX 10.5    1,5 Ghz PPC    1 GB             16 s

So throw away Vista and you will see light at the end of the tunnel

Just wondering: Does lilypond emit a message that the font cache is
being generated, and that this usually takes some time?
