OK, just to give you a very rough estimate: here is the time for
compiling my lecture course with mkiv. It's fairly long, but not very
complex; it is written in xml and processed with an environment with
the "new" xml mechanism. My home computer is a mac mini with a 1.83G
intel core 2 duo and 2G RAM; I consider it a fairly fast machine. this
is with the latest luatex + today's beta, after all fonts have been
cached etc.:
time texexec --lua --env=vorlesung-mkiv --mode=default aristophanes.xml
mkiv lua stats : runtime - 26.041 seconds, 271
processed pages, 271 shipped pages, 10.407 pages/second
26.45s user 0.62s system 99% cpu 27.167 total
Now the same run with the same file on my eeepc:
mkiv lua stats : runtime - 71.326 seconds, 271
processed pages, 271 shipped pages, 3.799 pages/second
68.60s user 0.97s system 94% cpu 1:13.94 total
Haven't yet tried connecting it to a projector, but I suspect that the
graphics card may be a bit wimpy.
