So when I was in graduate school in 1993 and you wanted to compile a latex manuscript on an IBM 386 processer, you hit the button and went to get a cup of coffee. Five or ten minutes later, it would be done.
These days it happens in the blink of an eye.
So why is it that in 2023 basically every manuscript submission system in existance takes at least 10 minutes to latex a file?
