[Ipe-discuss] Performance of LaTeX-compilation

[henri.ortmueller at studium.uni-hamburg.de]

Hi everyone,

I've been using IPE for quite some time now, but over time the  
performance of the LaTeX-compilation decreased.
In particular, whenever I want to create or change a mathematical  
symbol, I am stuck in the (IPE:Waiting Compiling LaTeX)-Screen for  
approx. 16-20 seconds. Since I'm using mathematical symbols quite  
frequently, this gets kind of annoying. Moreover, selecting multiple  
mathematical symbols to change them at once does not work at all. Is  
anyone experiencing similar issues? And is there a way to get the  
16-20 seconds down to say 2-3 or is waiting 16-20 sec every time just  
normal?

Some background information on what I'm using (please don't judge me,  
if its incomplete, I'm not an expert):

- Using (the latest) version (7.2.29) of IPE on a PC with Windows 11  
Pro and the following processor:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8665U CPU @ 1.90GHz   2.11 GHz
- Using the online Latex compilation (https://latexonline.cc) (Using  
Online-LaTex compilation might be the issue here, since uploading and  
downloading data might take time. Unfortunately, I don't know how to  
change it)

Moreover, I have not changed any settings in IPE. In particular, even  
reinstalling IPE with default settings doesn't solve the problem.
If you have any suggestions on how I can solve that problem, I'd be  
very thankful, if you could send your suggestions to

Best,
Henri Ortmüller
