I exported the following file (pretty much lifted from the manual) to HTML with org-export-with-LaTeX-fragments set to t: ,---- | | * foo | | \begin{equation} % arbitrary environments, | x=\sqrt{b} % even tables, figures | \end{equation} % etc | | If $a^2=b$ and \( b=2 \), then the solution must be | either $$ a=+\sqrt{2} $$ or \[ a=-\sqrt{2} \]. `---- The profile starts like this for 6.35i: org-export 1 10.622031 10.622031 org-export-as-html 1 9.529249 9.529249 org-export-preprocess-string 1 9.510265 9.510265 org-export-html-preprocess 1 9.502661 9.502661 org-format-latex 1 9.502494 9.502494 org-create-formula-image 5 9.479597 1.8959194 org-mode 1 0.004826 0.004826 ... and like this for 6.34c: org-export 2 4.470028 2.235014 org-export-as-html 2 2.172419 1.0862095 org-export-preprocess-string 2 2.03408 1.01704 org-export-html-preprocess 2 2.02233 1.011165 org-format-latex 1 2.021664 2.021664 org-create-formula-image 5 1.978296 0.3956592 org-mode 4 0.2131019999 0.0532754999 Clearly, org-create-formula-image is eating much more time nowadays. The complete profiling results are attached. I also did an ls -lR to get some sizes after Lucas's mail above, but I have not looked into that yet - nevertheless, the sizes are also in the results file. Nick
