hi all,
LateX (part of tetex) on Arch 0.8 runs very very slowly. It searchs for
~/.texmf-config in every (sub)directories of my $HOME. So strangely!
Everything that tex should look for is the files in current directory
(doesnot include its sub directories) and the $HOME/.texmf-config.
Please explain! I cannot suffer this very slow tetex!
