[TxMt] Re: Speed of latex in TM vs. TexShop

I am a passionate devotee to TM but I notice that latex compiles much faster on TexShop than in TM. Is there something I can do to improve the performance of TM?

TM takes 4-6 seconds to compile and display on skim. TexShop takes 2-3 seconds.

Christopher, Has there been any resolution to your TM/Latex problem? I am having the same speed issue, even with pdflatex as the engine and turning off spell checking (the latter solution was suggested in a different post).

For what it's worth, I'm running 10.4.11 on a G4 iMac with 1.24Ghz and 768 RAM.

I'd appreciate some input. The slowness of TM making me crazy but I don't want to go back to TeXShop.

Thanks, Mike
