[Tikzdevice-bugs] Peformance

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Thanks.  I have upgraded to MiKTeX 2.8 but it still fails.  See below and
attached test.log.  If I look in the MiKTeX package manager (mpm from
commandn line) I see a pgf latex package was installed today so I presume
its the latest.  I do not see a separate tikz latex package so I presume its
part of pgf.

Checking for a LaTeX compiler...


A working LaTeX compiler was found in:
        The PATH using the command latex
