Takes it so long to generate the latex file? Then no processes are used, so nothing could be stopped.
In a real-life scenario, the document (and included figure files) may reside on a slow file server on a sometimes heavily congested network. Reading from a file - or opening it - may take 5s with some bad luck. So 12 file operations could take a minute. :-( Users on such systems obviously expect a document compile to be a slow operation. They still want a 'cancel' to be instantaneous. Helge Hafting
