[tex-live] Slow compilation on a mac

[Sara Sinclair Brody]

Hello, TeX Live enthusiasts!

I'm experiencing some painfully slow compilation time on my Mac.   Pasted
below is a dump of the compilation output; I'm noticing the slowness after
the underfull box warnings (which I have largely excised for increased
readability).   In particular, things really seem to get bogged down in the
.pfb file business.

Here's what I've tried in my effort to speed things up:

+ Confirming that my $HOME doesn't have a trailing slash

+ Using mktexlsr to make sure I have a ls-R file

+ Searching the list archives for other ideas


I haven't been working with this installation of TeX very long (I just
ported my dissertation over to a new computer), and so would love any
suggestions or pointers you all might have on how to speed things up.
 (Faster compilation means I'll finish the dissertation sooner, right?)  Of
course, please let me know if there is any additional information I might
provide to make diagnosis of the problem easier.

Thank you most sincerely,
scout
