I doubt it. The process interaction performance of Emacs (just receiving data from a pipe via an output filter and inserting into a buffer) is awful even when the buffer is not on-screen. XEmacs is easily twice as fast, and that is still slow. preview-latex's operation was sped up considerably by making its error messages have a shorter format. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
