Is that including the time it took WP to export to an ASCII file? :-)
Did you ever use EmTeX? It is supposed to be the fastest (and largest) TeX
on the PC, and free.
This is the Department of Economics. They believe in the market forces,
more specifically that a commercial program must be better than a free
one. For one thing, there's no technical support on EmTeX.
You are supposed to split a 400-page document, you know. \include'ing each
chapter with \includeonly{thechaptersyouchanged} gives you more speedup than
a decstation vs. a 80386sx. Having started using LaTeX on a 8Mhz PC tells me
this.
Yes, most of the time we did this. But to collect the table of contents
requires one full run.
