> 2. (minor compared to Overleaf) typst compiles faster.

I would argue that this isn't minor. At least in my opinion, it makes a big difference.

Overleaf, already 3 pages into a document, with a couple of TikZ figures, was getting slow, as in multiple seconds wait for each save.

Typst, on the other hand (Tinymist in VS Code) is really realtime. Text updating within some tens of milliseconds, and figures included in far below a second. It really _feels_ instant, and to me that changes the experience a lot.

I have laptop with a good-ish CPU that is only a few years old, and on page 3 tinymist is already starting to struggle. There is a noticeable input delay between me pressing a key on the keyboard, and the key getting typed & the preview updating. I think it's more of a tinymist issue though, as it has no debouncing and apparently also runs the preview updates on the same thread as vscode's input handling.

Interesting. I have not experienced that, except when trying out the pre-release version of tinymist, and did some messy multiple view+cropping into a big pdf (testing out the new pdf-image stuff.) I chalked it up to it being new and beta.

Admittedly, I have still not created large documents in Typst.
