Question about Live Updating with Bookends
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2013 1:24 am
Live updating with Bookends works great, except that (as discussed on an earlier post) there is need for a button in Melle'ls Bibliography pane to stimulate Bookends to do its thing (e.g., update citations). However, in a document of about 120 pages with perhaps 30 graphics and 100-200 citations, I find that it takes about 8 seconds to enter a new citation or to move a citation from one place in text to another. It's essentially instantaneous with a new document and just a few citations. Is this 8-second delay normal behavior for a longish document or should I suspect some problem with the manuscript, data base, or whatever? I can turn live-update off and use it only once in awhile, so this is not a "big problem." It's just a curiosity.
P.S., I have an almost-new 2.9 MHz iMac with 8 GB of RAM so the problem is not the computer.
