Re: Vista problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

See http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=545

However, it's interesting that you say that it was faster
when you first installed LilyPond on Vista. Can you remember
what version it was?
Perhaps, there is some connection to the problems on XP that
have just been reported, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2008-03/msg00046.html
with followups?

If would be interesting if one of you could try version
2.11.34 or older and see if it's faster on Vista. These
older versions of the installation package are available at
http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/mingw/
