Were both runs from the same point--were they "virgin" runs? Did you precede the texexec command with a "texutil --purgeall" command, for example? --
My TeX source file is a single file with images. Most of the TeX-work is done for positioning floats I think (figures, tables) and for creating backgrounds.
So I just renamed the TeX file for both runs into new file names, and upated TeX for the second run. I can redo the experiment on a clone machine which hasn't been updated yet, but I don't know whether "texutil --purgeall" will change anything. But if you tell me that it will, I'll give it a try.
Hmm. If you renamed the file for each run, then ignore that advice. I don't think that would be it, then.
can you make a small file that runs slower with the new versions? sometimes these things are not related to context, but to your tex tree: the bigger the slower, as well as settings in texmf.cnf Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
