> ┏━━━┫ 4.3.3 Ways of Improving Compilation Speed ┃
> ┃ While working on your presentation, it may sometimes be useful to TeX
> ┃ your .tex file quickly and have the presentation contain only the most
> ┃ important information. This is especially true if you have a slow
> ┃ machine.  In this case, you can do several things to speed up the
> ┃ compilation. First, you can use the draft class option.
> ┃
> ┃ #+begin_src latex
> ┃ \documentclass[draft]{beamer}
> ┃ #+end_src
> ┃
> ┃ Causes the headlines, footlines, and sidebars to be replaced by gray
> ┃ rectangles (their sizes are still computed, though). Many other
> ┃ packages, including pgf and hyperref, also “speed up” when this option
> ┃ is given.
> ┃
> ┃ Second, you can use the following command:
> ┃ #+begin_src latex
> ┃ \includeonlyframes{⟨frame label list⟩}
> ┃ #+end_src
> ┃
> ┃ This command behaves a little bit like the \includeonly command: Only
> ┃ the frames mentioned in the list are included. All other frames are
> ┃ suppressed. Nevertheless, the section and subsection commands are still
> ┃ executed, so that you still have the correct navigation bars. By
> ┃ labeling the current frame as, say, current and then saying
> ┃ \includeonlyframes{current}, you can work on a single frame quickly.
> ┃
> ┃ The ⟨frame label list⟩ is a comma-separated list (without spaces) of the
> ┃ names of frames that have been labeled. To label a frame, you must pass
> ┃ the option label=⟨name⟩ to the \frame command or frame environment.
> ┃
> ┃ Example:
> ┃ #+begin_src latex
> ┃ \includeonlyframes{example1,example3}
> ┃ \frame[label=example1]
> ┃ {This frame will be included. }
> ┃ \frame[label=example2]
> ┃ {This frame will not be included. }
> ┃ \frame{This frame will not be included.}
> ┃ \againframe{example1} % Will be included
> ┃ #+end_latex
