Re: [Texmacs-dev] a no-typesetting mode?

In fact as I type I feel such gratitude I have to say a double thank-you.

Thanks for this kind offer.

I'm trying not to blush too hard a I write this. I decided to update from SVN and re-compile and it's like a new world! The longest delay is now 2 seconds. This is a great relief.

Thanks to all those who made it so much faster.

Hi Sam,
 do you think you can handle me the document (or a faked version) for me to test and perform some profiling onto. In my opinion large delays should not happen unless the document requires intrinsically a whole new typesetting at each small change, for example when there are no line or page breaks. So I would tend to think that it is some misbehaviour of TeXmacs. It could also due to the still not perfect handling of the keyboard events in the Qt port. Have you tried with the X11 version?
