The number of pages per second depends on the complexity of the page. Documents with many menus (screen docs) and backgrounds that change per page take more time. on my 1 gig laptop: 172 page mathml manual (many buffers, color, xml included) : 36 sec 37 page examlpe manual (xml, color, backgrounds, menus) : 18 sec (13 sec in automp mode) 76 page mathml manual typeset as verbatim listing : 5 sec 75 page show-pre manual (372 pdf images+2 mp runs+fancy stuff) : 20 sec (18 sec in batch mode) so, i think that there is something wrong with your setup. since texexec.ini cannot be found (you can try texexec --verbose to get more info) it looks like a file search problem.
