But it takes ages, when I want scribus to compile them into a 50 sheet document. Thank you for your attempts to improving the source.

I think I will wait at least about a year with the option of installing a ssd. I am sure prices will decrease and they might get even faster.

Personally I will still wait with updating my hardware, because the delays just happen when im sticking together big files. Its just that for the future I would like to know what increases speed best.
