I am using Lilypond 2.7.17 on Windows, native binary. I've
been using it on Windows since the Cygwin days, but I notice
that the native binaries are INCREDIBLY SLOW. It takes close
to 30-60 seconds to compile any file, even test.ly.
I remember Cygwin only used to take a few seconds. But the
native binaries for 2.6 and 2.7 take forever. What is going
on?
Do you get this with 2.7.15 and earlier as well?
I've tried 2.6.1, 2.6.4, and the latest 2.7.17 build. I also just tried
2.7.12 and same thing. It can take up to a minute after invoking
lilypond for it to even start compiling. It's ridiculous. It's the same
whether I double-click, drag-and-drop, or use the command line. It's
basically unusable.
