Yes I did this and I changed my font settings for the title page to \definedfont in my document takes now 80 seconds for a single run but it spends most of the time for font loading. But you can beat the process time of plain TeX which can be used in simple documents where you can reduce the time with a few tricks. My process time for vocabulary cards from a xml file is below 1 second and I have more than 4.000 pages ;-) Doing the same thing woth ConTeXt's old xml interface and XeTeX takes 30 seconds and I won't talk about mkiv.
