I also run Win Xp SP2 on my laptop (work
provided) which is where I usually run Lilypond (typical .ly file compile
times are about 5+/-2 seconds from my memory), but I have a Vista machine
(newer, wife uses mainly) and an older machine running Ubuntu for now at
home. I want to get her used to the idea of Linux and make the switch the
next time Vista crashes hard ;-)
Thanks for the information.
Did you mean you switched from Lilypond
back to some proprietary music software and that forced you to use Windows
instead of Linux? I don't know what DAW is.

Re: LilyPond is excessively slow on
Windows Vista
It was Ubuntu 8.10 but XP SP2 and I took the time measure
from Lilypond. Of course I ran the tests several times. On XP I only ran
the necessary processes and the compile times were stable. Ubuntu was right
out of the box and compile times differed. I switched back to XP for it
was easier for me to use other musical software (DAW)

Only one data point but interesting:
Faster on WinXP than on Ubuntu.
Was it the latest of each? i.e. Ubuntu 8.10 and XP SP3?
