Oliver, just to be clear, you are talking about the command Show in PDFViewer (pdfsync), not the button press at the bottom of the Latex and View window.
I have not experienced the 10 second hang you are talking about in either case. What version of Skim are you using? Does the same thing happen if you use Preview?
I just noticed something strange concerning the 10s hang when invocating the "Show in PDFViewer (pdfsync)" command. I commented out one paragraph in my Latex document and then hit the above command. After the usual 10s delay, Skim opened and showed me the corresponding section, *without* the part of the text I just commented out *without* having typeset the document before. So it must have somehow typeset the document in the background. I double- checked this behaviour by un-commenting the line again. And again, after running the command, the paragraph was there again, set in the PDF. I don't suppose this command should set the document in the background, does it? Only jump to the location in the PDF.
Yours, Oliver
