TL;DR: Put `export LT_JOBS=yes` in your bash profile for faster dix compilation. You'll need the newest packages for this. My most commonly run compilation now takes 60s instead of 90s.
Please try it out and report back if you find any bugs. In more depth: The newest package of lttoolbox in nightlies (3.6.3+g538~e7418efe-1~focal1 on my Ubuntu) has a feature for minimising sections in parallel. Minimisation is the bottleneck of lt-comp, and each section is independent, so this was trivial to parallelise. However, most dix files have one big section and one tiny one so there's not much to win. So by default lt-comp also creates a new section on the fly after reading 50.000 entries. This can speed things up even without adding CPU cores (minimisation gets non-linearly slower the larger the transducer). You can tweak this with the environment variable `LT_MAX_SECTION_ENTRIES`.
