--mermaid filter slow?

[reagle]

I appreciate being able to included mermaid diagrams in my markdown, but it takes about 2 seconds per diagram per conversion. It's not the end of the world, but annoyingly slow once I have a few diagrams. Is this typical? For example, it takes over 10s to generate this html from this markdown.

BTW: Anyone ever had SVG files working with odt output format?

Yes, using mermaid this way is slow. The reason is that the filter has to fire up a whole browser each time it converts a diagram, and that takes its time. I don't know which exact tool you're using, but I get very similar times with the diagram.lua filter. Enabling caching for that filter makes subsequent runs a lot faster, maybe your filter of choice has a similar option?

Hi Albert, I use https://github.com/raghur/mermaid-filter . It doesn't look to support a cache option, perhaps I should give diagram.lua a try!
