>my netbook isn't quite beefy enough to cope with more than about page of LaTeX.

Uh. Isn't LaTex just a document format? Does your laptop have a 3MHZ CPU?

And isn't literally every netbook orders of magnitude faster than the computers that built and ran LaTeX when it was objectively a bit on the heavy side, in the eighties?

That would affect LaTeX in general, though, and it wouldn't get worse with more pages. Perhaps the LaTeX in question is very computation heavy (lots of tikz?).
