Hello everyone,
I recently started to use TeX on Guix but I noticed that compiling documents is
really slow, as most of the time is spent loading packages.
E.g. compiling a 22 page beamer presentation takes 2 minutes:
<snip>
$ wc -l presentation.tex
213 /home/mario/doc/uni/Tesi/thesis/presentation.tex
$ time lualatex presentation.tex
[...]
Output written on presentation.pdf (22 pages, 5682550 bytes).
Transcript written on presentation.log.
35.486u 126.397s 162.888r lualatex
/home/mario/doc/uni/Tesi/thesis/presentation.tex
</snip>
For reference these are the texlive packages I installed:

Hopefully thunderbird did not butcher the output too much... I also see similar
compile times with pdflatex.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Are my expectations too high when it comes
to compilation time?
Have a good day

I used to have similar symptoms last summer, which is well summarized
here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64772 (by someone else). As far as
I am concerned, the problem was fixed by the end of August.
So a trivial idea coming to my head is asking whether you are using the
latest Guix. If not, updating your system may solve the issue.
For the reference, I install the monolithic package texlive.

Hi Sergiu,
Thank you for your quick response, indeed I am using the "latest" guix:
<snip>
$ guix describe
Generation 44 ott 19 2023 13:15:29 (current)
guix 589a165
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 589a165de1895875a9849c2ededa69726a185a8c
</snip>
I'll check out the previous bug report to see if there's something I'm doing
differently.

I think this is the difference, so using the monolithic package is a
personal stop-gap measure, until we have figured out why the problem
occurs with the modular packages.
