[Tikzdevice-bugs] Peformance

[Cameron Bracken]

It seems like you are using an outdated version of pgf/tikz:

Package: tikz 2007/06/07 v1.18 (rcs-revision 1.87)

There must be something in one of the tests that depends on version
2.00.  This is likely causing the error.  It is really worth upgrading
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgf/).  If I'm not mistaken this
version is included in MikTeX 2.8.

It is not listed currently as a SystemRequirement but it really should be.
