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

I think this is at least partly due to the fact that the compile command is written in python, and it scans the source documents for various reasons. I got so sick of it, that I made my own command. It is on github so you can install it with “GetBundles”, or with git:
git clone git://github.com/alexross/latextra-tmbundle.git
Caveats are that this command is only compatible with Skim, and probably isn't as configurable as the default LaTeX compile & view command.
