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.
