If you have, like me, a textbook that is 800 pages with thousands of figures, breaking up the manuscript into sections or chapters and having the ability to typeset a small subset of the manuscript is essential. On a top-of-the-line 2012 MacBook Pro with an SSD, it takes 64 seconds to typeset the entire thing. It takes a couple of seconds to typeset an individual section from a chapter.
