Out of curiousity. What is the run-time of compiling luatex.pdf with mkii
and mkiv?

Hard to say.
BTW

$># time pdftex luatex &> /dev/null

real    0m9.619s
user    0m9.381s
sys     0m0.112s


$># time luatex --output-format=pdf  luatex &> /dev/null

real    0m12.530s
user    0m12.409s
sys     0m0.112s
