The rendering speedup alone is making my Libra 2 so much better. I'm no longer quite as jealous of my wife's Clara BW.

If you'd like to try an even faster version, I have one available to test.

Opening my test book has gone from 11s → 2s

Tested the "even faster version" using the test book on my Libra 2.

Time to load first chapter 3.5 seconds. Same time as v0.10.

In reading your write-ups, I think there's some caching of letterforms that helps with the speed? So, after a reboot, I ran the test twice on my Libra 2 with the new version.

4.35 First run
3.49 Second run (went back to the first page, then re-entered the big chapter)

That is amazing! Thank you.

EDIT: I seem to have the below Note (last line) in the log. Any idea why?

That's likely a misleading error. A fix was not applied to a thread unrelated to the epub renderer, which is actually correct behaviour!

I was thinking, the name doesn't seem correct. I think it should be changed to KePubTypeFix as it does nothing for RMSDK.
