If I turn off both the os::internal_path calls and the refresh calls, LyX is running smoothly. At least for me it is. I do still wonder why the other people get the delay. They either have just a very slow harddisk or there must be something else. Another difference is the following piece of code: 117 #if defined(_WIN32) || (QT_VERSION >= 0x999999) 118 fi.refresh(); 119 #else 120 fi = QFileInfo(fi.absoluteFilePath()); 121 #endif Maybe, fi = QFileInfo(fi.absoluteFilePath()) is faster than fi.refresh(). I could try to use that for Windows too and see whether it makes a difference, but I can't do that now. > rh Vincent
