At V5+, compilation appears to "freeze" after a number of pages, and nothing then appears in the transcript window until the compilation has completed.  This also appears to seriously impact other processes in the system.  Environment :  Windows 7 Ultimate, 16Gb RAM.
I can now confirm that this appears to occur IFF the PDF preview pane is displaying the PDF currently being compiled.  In my case, all dynamically-created files are created in a sub-directory parallel to the source files (i.e., --output-directory=../dynamic-content/) -- I do not know whether this may be significant.
