Eu tenho um conjunto básico de arquivos tex onde o arquivo principal test0.textenta carregar as imagens produzidas usando Tikz nos outros três arquivos test1.tex, test2.texe test3.tex. Isto é o que eu escrevi

Quando corro test0.texdo zero, recebo:
Agora, se eu mudar as linhas de test0.texpara \includegraphics[trim={0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt},clip,width=0.55\textwidth]{test1.pdf}( \includestandalone[trim={0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt},clip,width=0.55\textwidth]{test1}o mesmo para as outras duas), as imagens serão carregadas!
No entanto, eles carregam mais lentamente (pelo menos no projeto que estou usando, que tem números bastante elevados). No entanto, posso voltar às linhas originais que chamam \includegraphicse obtenho o mesmo resultado, só que muito mais rápido. A questão que estou chegando é: pode haver uma maneira de carregar minhas imagens mais rapidamente (pelo menos durante a recompilação) do que usá-las \includestandalonesem que eu precise reeditar o arquivo toda vez que compilar do zero?
