Have you used the GUB-compiled binary package, or Fedora's built-in or a self-compiled package? I think that you probably can only make platform-specific comparisons if you use GUB for all. Of course, when the speed of our GUB-provided binary for Linux differs vastly from that of self-compiled binaries, that's also reason for worrying. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
