it all depends on what's done with the font ...
-- we can only locate a bottleneck when we have the font and a test file
-- when you're low on memory, the garbage collector of lua becomes a
problem
-- dynamic features are faster (less loading)
3-4 minutes ... we use mk.tex as test doc, and that one loads cjk as
well as zapfino and arab ... runtime on my machine is 15-20 sec,
depending on the console used an din bachmode we go under 15 seconds
(140 page document)
so, what kind of machine do you run luatex on?
