People seem to express concern about all the files .aux etc. that are created. That doesn't bother me, since I can use \nofile to keep them out of the directory with the .tex source file.
My main concern with miktex/pdflatex compilation is that it prints out hundreds of lines of file loading data on the PDFTexify Console. Does that printing lengthen the compilation time? If so, is there a way suppress that printout?
\nofiledo you mean\nofiles? You can't use\nofilesby default or latex will not work at all. – David Carlisle Jul 02 '18 at 20:52\nofilesstops the generation of aux files. but then any cross references, tables of countents, long tables, pdf bookmarks etc will not work, as that is what the aux file is for. perhaps in beamer, with a very simple presentation you might be able to get away with that but you are using a very small subset of latex functionality in that case. No to reply to me (in general) you should use@then my id (the system will prompt you) although in this case as I was the only person to have commented, it works anyway – David Carlisle Jul 03 '18 at 06:19pdflatexin MikTeX there should be a-quietflag to suppress all output, except errors. However, it probably does not influence compilation time significantly. – Marijn Jul 03 '18 at 07:29-batchmode. However, realistically, if it would improve compilation time, there would be an answer on it in compiling - Speeding up LaTeX compilation - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange already. – user202729 Jan 18 '24 at 21:05
