Consider the following three options when using MathJax:
1. normal MathJax
\(\mathbb{R}\)
2. Macro definition with MathJax
\(
\def \R {\mathbb{R}}
\)
3. Macro definition with script
<script>
MathJax.config.tex['macros'] = {
R: '{\\mathbb {R}}',
};
MathJax.startup.getComponents();
</script>
Is there a difference in efficiency for displaying cards between these options?
The macros can get more complex of course, this is just a simple example. Sometimes I use Anki on an old tablet, there I notice a slight delay with cards that use a lot of MathJax (option 1). But mostly I like to understand the difference between these options.
Also do the macros in the card template have any influence on the performance of cards that don’t use MathJax?
