Hello all,<br>
<br>
Loading the ucharclasses package with no option is extremely slow (><br>
2min on my installation), because it loads every Unicode block (as<br>
documented).<br>
<br>
The performance can be significantly improved by using lower-level<br>
code for the loops. For instance, using the following helper macro<br>
(not quite optimized for speed, because I wanted to remain reasonably<br>
close to the original \forloop syntax):<br>
<br>
\newcommand{\@ucc@forloop}[1]<br>
{\expandafter\@ucc@forloop@\csname c@#1\endcsname}<br>
\newcommand{\@ucc@forloop@}[4]{%<br>
#1=#2\relax<br>
\loop<br>
#4\relax<br>
\ifnum#1<#3\relax<br>
\advance#1 by \@ne<br>
\repeat<br>
}<br>
<br>
we can replace the definition of `\@defineUnicodeClass` by<br>
<br>
\newcounter{glyphcounter}<br>
\newcommand{\@defineUnicodeClass}[3]{%<br>
\newXeTeXintercharclass#1<br>
\@ucc@forloop {glyphcounter}{#2}{#3}<br>
{\XeTeXcharclass\value{glyphcounter}=#1}<br>
}<br>
<br>
(in other words, change the \forloop line). All other \forloop can be<br>
replaced in a similar way, giving rise to a 10 fold speed improvement<br>
at least.<br>
<br>
This post stems from an [answer I gave on the TeX.stackexchange<br>
network](<a href="http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/32351/is-there-a-way-to-speed-up-the-use-of-ucharclasses/32379#32379" target="_blank">http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/32351/is-there-a-way-to-speed-up-the-use-of-ucharclasses/32379#32379</a>).<br>
Is that answer "legal", given the license of the package, or should I<br>
delete it?<br>
<br>
