Hello,

we are currently setting up some org-templates for simple web pages =
(e.g. CV information for members of our institute). So far this seems to =
work surprisingly well - even for users who use editors other than Emacs =
(yes, we need to try harder...). We have created a web service so users =
can upload an org-file and get a preview of the generated HTML page.

In a python script we use (a recipe from this very useful list):

[...]
cmd =3D emacs \
  + " -Q --batch"
  + " --eval \"(add-to-list 'load-path \\\"" + ORGLIB + "\\\")\"" \
  + " --eval \"(require 'org)\"" \
  + " --eval \"(require 'org-exp)\"" \
  + " --eval \"(setq org-export-headline-levels 2)\"" \
  + " --visit=3D\"" + orgfile + "\"" \
  + " --funcall org-export-as-html"

However, even on a modern system (SunFire T5140, Solaris 10) generating =
the HTML output with Emacs 23.1 and the latest org-version takes several =
seconds (which is disappointing). To improve performance, we want to =
switch to emacsclient but we are not sure how to adapt the above code to =
do this. Our first attempt:

cmd =3D emacsclient + " --eval " \
  + " \"(add-to-list 'load-path \\\"" + ORGLIB + "\\\")\"" \
  + " \"(require 'org)\"" \
  + " \"(require 'org-exp)\"" \
  + " \"(setq org-export-headline-levels 2)\"" \
  + " \"(load-file \\\"" + orgfile + "\\\")\"" \
  + " \"(org-export-as-html)\""

did not work.
Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
 Stefan
