You can check on this by using the Activity Monitor (in the Finder, Go menu >
Utilities > Activity Monitor). If you sort alphabetically you can easily find
Lilypond and see whether it is demanding a lot of CPU cycles, hogging memory
and/or spawning a lot of subprocesses that are slowing things down.
There's no reason to keep Lilypond open, however, unless you are using the
built-in text editor and there are frankly much better options for writing .ly
files (Smultron, Fraise, Emacs, etc.).
