>From the texexec man page:
--fast
Typeset the document(s) as fast as possible without causing
problems.
--final
Perform a final run without skipping anything. This option is
typically used with --fast.
So --fast --final could be the pair of switches to add. But I tried
an experiment with mediocre results, using this test file:
====================== q.tex =================
\doifnotmode{*last}{\pdfdraftmode=1}
\starttext
\completecontent
\chapter{A}
\dorecurse{500}{\input tufte\par}
\chapter{B}
\dorecurse{400}{\input tufte\par}
\chapter{C}
\dorecurse{100}{\input tufte\par}
\stoptext
============================================
I ran it with the attached Makefile, which produced this output:
ctxtools --purge --all > /dev/null
rm -f q.pdf
texexec --verbose --fast --final q.tex > run.log
Total runs : 4 (counted by grepping run.log for running: pdfetex)
Draftmode runs: 3 (counted by grepping run.log for pdfdraftmode)
TeXExec | runtime: 7.987485
Then I commented out the first line and reran it:
ctxtools --purge --all > /dev/null
rm -f q.pdf
texexec --verbose --fast --final q.tex > run.log
Total runs : 4
Draftmode runs: 0 (just to check)
TeXExec | runtime: 8.307869
So the draftmode saves 4% in the runtime. But the fastest is to not
use the draftmode and not use --final (which causes an extra run).
Maybe I missing a trick, but the draftmode didn't save much time. I
guess I should make the test file read in a few huge images?
