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)
Of course I am completely ignorant about the internals, but at least I didn't expect that it would run slower.
how many runs? normally context only becomes faster, so i wonder why it is so much slower did you compare the logs?
