after the recent discussion of ConTeXt processing (some) files 4 times as often under OS X
than elsewhere, I decided to upgrade to the most recent beta and run a speed comparison
on notes I am writing. To my dismay, here are the results:
Old version:
ConTeXt ver: 2004.11.23 fmt: 2004.12.16
TeXExec 5.2.3
total run time : 324 seconds
New version:
ConTeXt ver: 2005.03.02 fmt: 2005.3.4
total run time : 416 seconds
And I was hoping for a speed increase by a factor of 4 :(
(I renamed the TeX source for both runs)
Of course I am completely ignorant about the internals, but at least
I didn't expect that it would run slower.
how many runs?
normally context only becomes faster, so i wonder why it is so much slower
did you compare the logs?
Hans
How do I count the number of runs? I mean, do I have to count, or does it tell me somewhere so that I can look it up?
The log files are lengthy, maybe the memory usage is of interest:
Run A:
12246 strings out of 64833
221604 string characters out of 691267
4755370 words of memory out of 6327867
43583 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000
21681 words of font info for 72 fonts, out of 2000000 for 2000
104 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
58i,30n,104p,1295b,3134s stack positions out of 1500i,500n,5000p,200000b,5000s
6067 PDF objects out of 300000
857 named destinations out of 131072
956 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 65536
Run B:
Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
12374 strings out of 62208
224135 string characters out of 638791
4793260 words of memory out of 6324620
46119 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000
164026 words of font info for 78 fonts, out of 2000000 for 2000
144 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
58i,30n,104p,1295b,3136s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,6000p,200000b,40000s
PDF statistics:
6073 PDF objects out of 300000
857 named destinations out of 131072
956 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 65536
The 'words of font info' (whatever it is) looks kind of strange to me.
