However, running one test of 34,500 pages took 10 hours(!) to compile
with XeLaTeX. This was on a 3GHz/4Gb Windows 7 Pro machine, using the
XeTeX from MiKTeX 2.9.
I expected this job to complete in a matter of minutes, but it basically
took 100 times longer than I anticipated.
Even this :
\loop
\ifnum \count 0 < 34001
\topglue 0 pt
\eject
\repeat
\end
takes 1 minute on my 3.6GHz P4, so "a matter of minutes" might
be a little on the optimistic side (although ten hours does seem
a tad excessive ...).
