Ah, okay. Those times look more reasonable. One cause of slow-downs that I've see is if one of the fonts hasn't been installed. It takes *forever* to figure out that the font is missing and will grind away for minutes on end until that point. Running the install-pkgs.sh script should install all the fonts required to build the PDF. --Kevin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
