Hello,
after the recent discussion of ConTeXt processing (some) files 4 times as often under OS X than elsewhere, I decided to upgrade to the most recent beta and run a speed comparison on notes I am writing. To my dismay, here are the results:
Old version:
ConTeXt ver: 2004.11.23 fmt: 2004.12.16 TeXExec 5.2.3
total run time : 324 seconds
New version:
ConTeXt ver: 2005.03.02 fmt: 2005.3.4 total run time : 416 seconds
And I was hoping for a speed increase by a factor of 4 :( (I renamed the TeX source for both runs)
As far as I can judge the current version does not yet benefit from our discussion concerning the runs under OSX. "ConTeXt ver: 2005.03.02" (pragma site calls it 2005-02-03 [?] 15:19 ) doesn't include the changes that Patrick (no more "8 runs") found out: sub FlushFiles { print TUO "%\n" . "% $Program / Files\n" . "%\n" ; foreach $File (sort keys %Files) { print TUO "% $File ($Files{$File})\n" } print TUO "%\n" ; $NOfFiles = keys %Files ; "texutil.pl" is untouched. I guess Hans is still verifying this perl hassle? Steffen
