| Abstract: | Macros can be collected in macro packages. These packages can be stored in a form that permits fast loading. Although TeX is already pretty fast, for demanding applications it makes sense to speed up TeX to the max. Switching to e-TeX and beyond is one way to achieve this, another way can be found in optimizing the macro code by means of a dedicated program. Currently the combination of both can speed up TeX runs by at least 10%. |
