I usually compose short documents (paper, homework, report etc.) which
usually runs 8-10 pages.
There will be considerable difference between traditional TeX (CJK for
LaTeX, or pdftex MKII using subfonts) and MKIV.
That means, every MKIV Chinese document I compile will spend 10
seconds loading the fonts and extra 5 seconds for compiling the
actual document.
For longer documents (more than 100 pages), I seldom compile them all.
ConTeXt user usually split the book into components. I compiled each
component (usually 10 pages) until I am satisfy in all components,
then I will compile the whole book. So, efficient on small document is
very important.

you should not take a one page document as benchmark, since then there's always the dominant overhead of loading fonts and writing resources to the pdf file
