Subject: typescript and memory usage
Date: Thu, 01 May 2008 20:59:39 +0200	[thread overview]

Hello list,

Thanks to Hans, Hraban, Wolfgang and Aditya, I've successfully played
with typescripts and Garamond PP as provided by Adobe with luatex.

But I still have a little question :) By reducing my typescript to the
strict minimum, as below, I'm still using 232 Mo (sic) of ram. My
document test only contains nothing but a \switchtobodyfont but it
takes 8.7 seconds to compile on a 4000 bogomips machine (athlon
2400+).

For the C lover I am, that seems, errh, HUUUUUGE.

Is it normal?

Note that if I remove the [features=default] argument, mem is divided
by 2, and time by 3. Also note that if I use more faces, it can go to
2Go of ram and 2 minutes of computing.

Thanks for your reply,
-AJ
