[OS X TeX] TeXshop - preview jumping after typeset

[Warren Nagourney]

Greetings,

For what it is worth, I increased my ram from 1 Gb to 1.5 Gb and  
there was little or no improvement in typesetting speed in TS. I  
still observe the slowdown with time - after a clean boot, it takes  
about 12-13 seconds to typeset my 224 page book and after working on  
it for a few hours, the typeset time increases to 30 seconds. Nothing  
else is open except for Safari and I am monitoring the memory stats  
using the Activity Monitor and I still have a 480 Mb region of free  
space (green in the app).  Formerly (with 1 Gb),  the green region  
shrank to a very small value and I thought that this was the problem.  
Apparently, low memory is not the problem.

By the way, quitting Safari restores the original speed (13 seconds).  
So, even though it is idle, it is using enough resources to more than  
double the typesetting time? I didn't look at the %CPU time, but from  
previous experience, it is very small when Safari is idle. Safari and  
Firefox have known memory leaks, but with nearly 500 Mb free, this  
shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers,

Warren Nagourney
