I installed the minimals and use MKIV. It seems that it is 1,5 to 2 times as slow as the MKII I used in texlive. Is this possible,

Yes, MkIV is slower.

or should there be something else that is responsible for this?

No, for simple document with lots of text MkIV is slower but there are parts (e.g. MetaPost) where MKIV is a lot faster than MkII. Wolfgang
