Just a very short remark: I'm testing my presentation stuff extensively these days, and there's a lot of metapost graphics involved. mkiv is amazingly fast, while both mkii and xetex take very long to compile my test files (and clutter the directory with all the intermediate files). Font loading tends to be long at first run and quite efficient thereafter.
