Re: LilyPond is excessively slow on Windows Vista

[Simon Dahlbacka]

The problem is that the problem is often hard to diagnose and
reproduce without having the afflicted machine at hand.  In general,
my takeaway from it is that shipping software on top of Windows is a
religious experience. You can never be sure that it works, so you have
to pray a lot.

 
Fwiw, one way to diagnose on an affected machine is to have process monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) running while performing the problematic operation.

After that, it is "just" a matter of wading through a humongous amont of log messages :)
