It has been a learning experience for me, trial and error has abounded. The key tenet that I've adhered too though is to truly embrace literate programming, and the more I learn the more it makes sense. The document has grown quite organically and it has been and continues to be a wonderful experience. What I need help, feedback, discussion, and more on is the build time. The average build takes 15m. It didn't start this way; it was about 3 minutes way back when. The last time it got kind of big was 9m and I didn't think too much of it. After literally a day of additions, it shot up to 15m. I tried upgrading to the latest org release with no change. I also removed all of the non-tangleable text with no change there, either.To give a fair picture, I did publish the system here: https://github.com/grettke/home My specific request: I need help with pointers on where I should start looking to speed things up. My goal is to have a full powered literate programming system in org mode that is blazing fast. This is from a user perspective, I use it every chance I get now and have barely scratched the surface. Right now though I'm sort of hobbled by the build time. That is actually understating it, I can't really be productive anymore at all. Little changes take 15m each and if I test it the "right way", 30m. Usually I would make little changes and every so often make sure that it can rebuild itself; usually it may :). This build is documented in the github project; it only loads the absolute minimum required to do the build. Ideas: Separate the documents. Hack on org directly. Non-ideas: Faster hardware. More ram. Newer software. Details: Emacs 24.3.1.

Where I may contribute is with time, effort, patience, cheerfulness, and experience.
