If I import a sizable number of cards from a text file, and these contain LaTex..... when I go to export them as a Mnemosyne .card file, the software renders all the LaTex of all the cards as part of the export. 

This is great, as I don't want client PC's, which I export the cards to, to need LaTex rendering software installed.

However, the export process seems to spawn a separate LaTex sub-process to do the rendering for each card.
At least under Windows, all this sub-process creation/termination per card causes the PC to be unusable while the export is taking place. 
For example, when I exported about 1000 cards last night, it took about 10-15 minutes.

Would it be possible to spawn one sub-process to render the LaTex for all the cards in the export, as opposed to a new sub-process for each card?

Hi,

It would require considerable rewriting to optimise this, and I'm not sure
that this is the most important thing to work on at the moment.

However, feel free to add this request to our uservoice forum so that other
people can vote for it too.

Cheers,

Peter

Oh no biggie then.  I just thought maybe this was overlooked and easy to fix.
