Sad to say, on P-II 266 ( Clamath), 64M ram with linux-2.1.132, glibc 2.0.106... lilypond-1.1.33 *.ly ( ~ 190 files) real 5m11.653s user 5m2.620s sys 0m4.870s eliminating cache through recompiling lily pl34 with optimization & sync ... lilypond-1.1.34 *.ly real ~60m user ~5m sys ~9m slowed to a crawl ~ at 160th file, killed at ~175. Supposedly it was memory leak on some of the files, but cannot investigate now :(, sorry. This is reproduceable, so it is not hardware at this time :), but maybe compiler flags used, though... ( egcs-1.1.2-pre3) And if lilyponded standalone, 160th file is good enough, no pathalogic... August P.S. Will investigate with pl36 soon.
