https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219376 Bug ID: 1219376 Summary: texlive-latex: LaTeX extremely slow for many small files (fixed in upstream latex2e) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: burnus@gmx.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: werner@suse.com Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- LaTeX is extremely slow if many small files are processed – the problem seems to be that it keeps searching up files without caching them. I think the fix is the following (merged): https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/pull/1063 Please consider applying. For the news file, included in the commit: ---------------------------------------------- \section{Code improvements} \subsection{Performance in checking file existence} The additon of hooks, etc., to file operations had a side-effect in that multiple checks were made that the file existed. In larger documents using lots of files, these filesystem operations caused non-trivial performance impact. We now cache the existence of files, such that these repeated filesystem calls are avoided. ---------------------------------------------- -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
