Hi,

Brian mailed that the code I posted did not improve the startup time of
“Typeset & View (PDF)”. So here is an alternative version that indeed should
improve the run-time of the code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env bash
[[ -f "${TM_SUPPORT_PATH}/lib/bash_init.sh" ]] && .
"${TM_SUPPORT_PATH}/lib/bash_init.sh"

# just to remind you of some useful environment variables
# see Help / Shell Variables for the full list
. "${TM_SUPPORT_PATH}/lib/webpreview.sh"

filename=`basename "$TM_FILEPATH"`
html_header "Typeset & View (PDF)" "$filename"
texMate.py latex 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an other workaround you can use “Watch document” instead of “Typeset &
View (PDF)”. This command will initially take a little longer to generate
the first version of the PDF. After the initial phase the update of the PDF
should be quite fast.

Kind regards,
  René
