I run LuaTeX on a songle core pentium M with 1.7 GHz and 512 MB ram,
I made now a smell test file and the problem the speed with this file is not
so bad, the compile time increases with every \switchtobodyfont in my
document and not every of them can be replaced.
It seems to generate pages at an acceptable rate, it is just the
font loading that is slow. Do you agree?

Yes, only the font loading takes very long, the document processing
is a little bit slower than normal but it is ok. Only the font embedding
or whatever happens at the end of the documents takes more time
than normal but this could be related to the font size.
most probably a memory problem
btw, are you sure that you copied luatex.exe to texluac.exe? otherwise
you don't get compiled font tables (if not, then copy and delete the cache)
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.
