I've recently installed WinEdt 7.0 and Miktex 2.9 on a new computer. But now when I attempt to compile a latex file, there is a delay of about 20 seconds before the compilation process begins (and the log file appears). The compilation process itself seems to be reasonably fast.

@HarishKumar Ah, padawan is the name given to youngsters who are trained by a Jedi Knight or Master. They use the term in the Star Wars saga. For example, Anakin was Obi-Wan's padawan. :)

I am a first time LaTeX user and decided to use LyX to get myself up to speed. After downloading necessary stuff, MiKTeX 2.9 and LyX 2.0.4 on a Windows7 system, I started testing document classes.

@FrankMittelbach The FAQ is mainly written by the Powers That Be. The key idea is that the SE model works well for some things, but not others. A good example is discussion: does not work well in a Q&A format. I've also asked recently about feature requests on meta, and the answer seemed to be they are not valid as giving an answer is almost impossible.
@FrankMittelbach I see what you mean about requests for new packages, but not everything fits the format. One possible approach would be to have a single question (on meta?) with one answer per request. We could then close the 'main' question, with the idea being that if a new package does result we have a place that tells us where the request is.
@JosephWright I'm not even sure that such a thing is usefully manageable here. All I'm saying it is a pity to lose some of this by simply closing it off. For example, if tikz results in a lot of feature/package requests then perhaps they should get directed in that direction ... dunno ... I don't want more work on my or somebody elses plate ... we don't get the things done we try to
All: currently there are 470 unanswered questions. I'm going to devote some time to trying to get this down a bit more over the next few days. There may be a few 'is this TL' questions from me :-)
I've just realised that I've posted a completely off-topic note to the LaTeX3 mailing list. I feel such a dork. It really wouldn't be appropriate to post another one apologising, so to all LaTeX3 people who hang out here, I'm really sorry, and it won't happen again.
What am I doing wrong? According to my understanding, these two formulae should look different (the second one should have a thin space):
\setupmathematics[autopunctuation=yes]
\starttext
$(2,5)$ versus $(2, 5)$
\stoptext
(I am using ConTeXt MkIV.)
Seems to need a ConTeXt expert: @Aditya, perhaps you might take a look?
@WillRobertson Another one for you: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41454/…. I suspect the answer is that this is simply not possible, but don't want to get it wrong

@MarcoDaniel Hmm, tricky as the OP does link to something. However, you've got to ask 'does the question add value', to which the answer is 'no, not as it stands'. So I'll close.

What should I do ? I mean the files are too localized for me to post here. Should i obtain the aux or something? I tried reading the error messages, but alas I can not make sense of them.

Does anyone know if the comment package have changed in the lastest live package? After a bit of fiddling, I saw that my files compiled after removing the tikz and pgfplots. Now I thought AH, I must have screwed up the images. But after compiling them individually they ran just fine. Now it seems the problem seems to be nested comments from the comment package.

@MarcoDaniel All has own problems but I find it striking to see how people are being patient with TeXLive but go berserk with a nanosecond delay with everything else.
@JosephWright I know that but updating TeXLive (at least looks like) is a major undertaking, I have never bothered with updating other than uninstall/reinstall procedure in MikTeX (or on-the-fly package install). Probably that's why it's hard for me to see the point of TeXLive.

@N3buchadnezzar Right, something odd is going on as my TL on Windows gives an error but on Mac does not. Lunch time just now, but I'll investigate in a bit
@percusse I've written in my blog that TL and MiKTeX are very close now on Windows: there is not a big reason to pick one or the other unless you want the install-on-the-fly from MiKTeX.
@percusse I used MiKTeX for many years: I've switch to TL as I work on different platforms quite a bit, not because there is anything wrong with MiKTeX.
I have seen that in between texlive 2011 and 2012, there were a lot of new styles developed. But I still have to see a style intended for the Council of Science Editors Citation Style. I'm definitely useless with hardcore tex codes but I definitely tried to read and understand the biblatex manual...
My cut down example, above, gives the same issues. It's the number of tokens that seems to be key.
You can comment out all of the picture stuff and you still get the error, but don't if you drop to just a comment character per line. So I think what is happening is that TL is not writing the comment.cut file completely before trying to read from it again.
@N3buchadnezzar I'm still working on the strange comment issue. I have a feeling there is something more serious up here, but I need to turn it into a plan TeX example before I report it.
@N3buchadnezzar Not so much: I need to get the right parts sorted out. comment does some things differently in plain, so I can't use that code to report the issue.

@JosephWright Personally, I'm inclined to backwards compatibility, but I also understand when there are things that must be updated for their own good. Legacy code sometimes is a burden. :)

@percusse Ah right. I need Web of Knowledge ('WoK', text based) but also SciFinder and Reaxys, which need the right editor to even do a search. JabRef doesn't do WoK
