Hi Pablo,

Regarding your PS. I never had speed problems with floating objects, but 
things get very slow once you use the 2-column mode (I guess the calculating 
the best layout an typesetting is much more complicated in such case). Do you 
experience the slowdown in the 1-column regime as well?


Best,

Peter.
