Hi Nasser, I have TL 2013 on i5 machine with 8GB RAM on Ubuntu 12.04. I have downloaded the files and tested by unloading some packages you have provided and found that the package "*titlesec*" is slowing down the compilation when you go through tex4ht (make4ht). I have commented it on *my_core.tex* and executed your *compile.sh. *The process is now faster. Could you please check this. I have not gone in detail on what is causing the problem in '*titlesec'* package on tex4ht. Regards Jagath AR
