Hi,
I'm (occasionally) trying to 'minimize' bottlenecks in the context /
luametatex code. This is kind of hard because both are rather efficient
already. On regular runs performance is probably okay but there are
cases when one has a large complex document (e.g. with many tables) or
has many runs (e.g. thousands of documents in one go). In that case even
minor speedups can accumulate and become measurable (esp on vms and runs
over a network). It can safe time and also energy (which can matter
todays KWh pricing).
So the challenge is how to determine bottlenecks. Are there users on
this list that have document runs of more than 10 seconds (as reference:
the luametatex manual takes < 9 seconds for 350 pages and loads plenty
fonts and has many tables) or have many (small) runs and are annoyed by
the runtime? And if so, what does one guess are the bottlenecks?
Hans
ps. Much runtime is spent in Lua and there is not that much we can do
about making that faster.
