slow performance on catalina installing texlive-fonts-extra

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

I see the same. Took 20mins to install.

tclsh8.5 was spinning take 100% cpu during the pause. Results from running a sample on this process (just using Activity Monitor) attached. Hoping something in there rings a bell with someone…

cheers Chris
