Hi Peter:

You are right. If I use 1-column mode with several floats in a 15
pages document, editing the document is slow, but each modification
takes some seconds to recalculate the layout. In 2-column mode those
seconds of wait become more than 20 minutes, even for a simple added
letter to the document.

The conclusion to use floats is: edit your the document in 1-column
mode if possible and at the last stage when the document is almost
final, change it to 2-column mode. Or even better, avoid floats till
the final stages of edition.

Thanks for your comments.
