- does using \doifundefined{myMacro}{...} shorten tex runs/compile time ?

In which way?

As I don't know/understand what happens between (Lua)TeX runs, to keep macro definitions in memory.

Correction: to avoid spending time redefining macros in case their definitions are kept in memory between Lua(TeX) runs.

- what are the features to avoid for shortest compile times ?

Depends on your document and what do you want.

My question was intended in a generic way, aka if you use

- these features ... expect longer or significant longer compile times, or
- these features ... generate the longest compile times.

To give you a better answer speak in complete sentences.
