Re: Long Compile time with version 2.19.44

Recently I updated my lilypond from 2.18 to 2.19.44. I am using Frescobaldi for the GUI.
It used to take only a few seconds to compile a score, but now it takes at least 28 seconds every time.
This is the case even if I don't create a midi.

Am I missing something, or is this the case for everyone?

Even for this minimal example without any compile errors, it took 28.3 seconds - which is my new average time.

\version "2.19.44"
\header {
    title = "Minimal Example"
}

verses = \new Voice = "verses" \relative c'' {
    \time 4/4
    \key c \major
    a4 b4 c4 d4 | e4 d4 f2 \bar "||"
}

wordsOne = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" {
Here are some wo -- rds to sing
}
wordsTwo = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" {
And line up wi -- th them -- selves
}
wordsThree = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" {
See the stanz -- as line up in place
}

\score {
        <<
        \new Staff{   \verses }
       \wordsOne
        \wordsTwo
       \wordsThree
        >>
    \layout {

    }
}

Here is my output:

I can confirm a very similar looooooong compilation time on 2.19.36 (over a minute for me, actually). Re-factoring the code to put all the \new statements inside the \score block then made the compilation time to 2 seconds:

%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.36"

\header {

title = "Minimal Example"

}

verses = \relative c'' {

\time 4/4

\key c \major

a4 b4 c4 d4 | e4 d4 f2 \bar "||"

}

wordsOne = \lyricmode {

Here are some wo -- rds to sing

}

wordsTwo = \lyricmode {

And line up wi -- th them -- selves

}

wordsThree = \lyricmode {

See the stanz -- as line up in place

}

\score {

\new Staff { \new Voice = "verses" \verses }

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" \wordsOne

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" \wordsTwo

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" \wordsThree

\layout { }

}

%%%%%%%%%%%

So, no explanation from me, only an observation.

HTH,
