OK, just to give you a very rough estimate: here is the time for compiling my lecture course with mkiv. It's fairly long, but not very complex; it is written in xml and processed with an environment with the "new" xml mechanism. My home computer is a mac mini with a 1.83G intel core 2 duo and 2G RAM; I consider it a fairly fast machine. this is with the latest luatex + today's beta, after all fonts have been cached etc.: time texexec --lua --env=vorlesung-mkiv --mode=default aristophanes.xml mkiv lua stats : runtime - 26.041 seconds, 271 processed pages, 271 shipped pages, 10.407 pages/second 26.45s user 0.62s system 99% cpu 27.167 total Now the same run with the same file on my eeepc: mkiv lua stats : runtime - 71.326 seconds, 271 processed pages, 271 shipped pages, 3.799 pages/second 68.60s user 0.97s system 94% cpu 1:13.94 total Haven't yet tried connecting it to a projector, but I suspect that the graphics card may be a bit wimpy.
