Compile speed issue #684

Closed mattfack closed 3 years ago

mattfack commented 3 years ago

I have written a build system in sublime text 3 to build markdown files and convert them to pdf.

my system is: OS: Windows 10 MiKTeX version: MiKTeX 20.12 pdflatex version: MiKTeX-pdfTeX 4.1

To build a md file with one word ("test") it takes 17.5 seconds inside sublime text.

I have done some profiling with the powershell using the eisvogel template:

  1. conversion md to tex with pandoc: 0.0907997 [s]
  2. conversion: tex to pdf with pdflatex: 6.3132436 [s]
  3. conversion md to pdf with pandoc: 13.2551959 [s]

If I run 1 and 2 in sublime text 3 the process lasts ca. 8 seconds and the console prints this:

Class scrartcl Warning: Usage of package `fancyhdr' together
(scrartcl)              with a KOMA-Script class is not recommended.
(scrartcl)              I'd suggest to use 
(scrartcl)              package `scrlayer' or `scrlayer-scrpage', because
(scrartcl)              they support KOMA-Script classes.
(scrartcl)              With `fancyhdr' several features of class `scrartcl'
(scrartcl)              like options `headsepline', `footsepline' or command
(scrartcl)              `\MakeMarkcase' and the commands `\setkomafont' and
(scrartcl)              `\addtokomafont' for the page style elements need
(scrartcl)              explicite user intervention to work.
(scrartcl)              Nevertheless, using requested
(scrartcl)              package `fancyhdr' on input line 248.

Transcript written on test.log.

With the same build system on a macbook pro (M1 processor, late 2020, texlive installed), the process with pandoc from md to pdf lasts less than 2 seconds.

Thank you. I am not quite sure what you want me to fix. Obviously, everything works as expected. Please consider rewriting your report and provide a minimal test case without 3rd party tools like pandoc.

mattfack commented 3 years ago

Ok, the point is that compiling a very simple tex file lasts more than 6 seconds on Windows with MiKTeX and less than 2 seconds on iOS with texlive.

Everything is working, but I was wondering why miktex is so slow.

Maybe I'd better post this on stack exchange, since it is not really an issue, sorry.

edocevoli commented 3 years ago

It would make sense to compare MiKTeX/Windows and TL/Windows.
