Since you mentioned other HOL variants, I would like to point out that Isabelle can take advantage of multi-core architectures: see, e.g., https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-39634-2_30 This might give you a speedup on the order of 10x or so, depending on your hardware. > I'd guess that >99% of the CPU time I'm seeing comes from HOL Light > searching for proofs (e.g., the computation in REAL_LINEAR_PROVER), Generic proof replay (as discussed by Mike) could indeed be a solution, but if you don't need the full power of REAL_LINEAR_PROVER in your proofs, there is also a good chance that you could significantly reduce CPU time by implementing your own (more specific) optimized tactic. This really depends on what your proof obligations look like. It'd be great if you could say more about them.
