I have some projects where the continuous-integration-testing with Travis requires a tex installation. More than 50% of the entire test run is spent installing texlive-full (since Travis doesn't seem interested in including latex in their standard environment). Maybe TinyTeX will be able to speed this up?

I wrote a python package to install texlive without user interaction in a customizable way. Not installing docs and sources already shaves off half.

It takes ~5 minutes on travis when I only install what I need.
