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.
