Slow is no word for the speed with CJK, I have a document with Adobe Kozuka Minchi and Gothic and run takes up to 3 to 4 minutes.
The same document needs with XeTeX about half a minute and using the same fonts in plain TeX took only a few seconds.
This is really something LuaTeX need to be faster, but it is always faster than using the cwTeX in truetype format with pdfTeX ;-)
it all depends on what's done with the font ... -- we can only locate a bottleneck when we have the font and a test file -- when you're low on memory, the garbage collector of lua becomes a problem -- dynamic features are faster (less loading) 3-4 minutes ... we use mk.tex as test doc, and that one loads cjk as well as zapfino and arab ... runtime on my machine is 15-20 sec, depending on the console used an din bachmode we go under 15 seconds (140 page document) so, what kind of machine do you run luatex on?
