how can i speed up it?

There is currently no way to speed it up. Maybe it will at some point in time be possible to convert multiple equations in a single batch. I suppose currently the MathType parsing extension that is running in JRuby is invoked individually for each equation. I can’t tell you how much speedup will be possible. It is not on our immediate agenda to change this (unless external funding in the order of magnitude of $3k is available for this effort). The best way going forward will be to convert the MathType equations to OMML and then work from the docx file with the OMML formulas. We do have libraries that perform this conversion, but they are currently not available as a standalone tool or as a Web service. Maybe we’ll add a pipeline to docx2tex that does this conversion.
