I upgraded two other machines and did some further tests. For each run, I renamed the TeX source file, and performed 3 runs: i) old TeX ii) new TeX, 1st run iii) new TeX 2nd run (still with a new filename) While ii takes about 10% longer, iii was consistently about as fast as i. My guess is that some of the files in the new TeX installation (I moved to TeXLive 2005) need to be 'broken in' so that subsequent runs of TeX should be faster. At least it looks as if TeX didn't really slow down after upgrading as I first thought. Matthias
