Hi everyone,

Today I used a after-save-hook to asynchronously export an org file and
show an updated view in a doc-view buffer. The update was really slow
though, because it takes a while to start up my emacs.

I was wondering if it is possible to have a pseudo async export, e.g. to
launch an emacs server and then send it messages to do the export of the
file in the other process. Has any one seen anything work like this? At
the command line it is doable with a named daemon and emacsclient I
think. I feel like it should be possible through elisp too.

thoughts?
