the mk test document, which now ha ssome 220 pages, processes at a speed
of 10 pages per minute on my machines, which includes startup, loading a
nbbunch of huge fonts, lots of mp graphics, etc ..
my impression is that eventually luatex/mkiv will not be that much
slower than pdftex sp when one takes into account that open type fonts
are used (when lots of mp graphics are used and the new xml machinery
... luatex/mkiv is definitely faster)
