even on 5 pages documents LaTeX can spend a surprising amount of time
- taeric 2y agoWhat five page documents? I've seen it zip through far larger texts on the regular. And is most of the effort from LaTeX in paragraph layout? Most slowness there, is in Mathematica typesetting, I would think.
- lttlrck 2y agoIs Latex text wrapping known to be well optimized?
- taeric 2y agoThe main algorithm most any folks know by name for doing this was created for it, so sorta? I don't know that it is necessarily better than any closed source options. I was under the impression it is the baseline good, though.
- __david__ 2y agoIts author was supposedly pretty good at algorithms. I think he may have even written a book or four about them. So I suspect it’s decently optimized.
