it all depends on what you use and want to achieve; also lualatex is not relevant when we discuss for instance context mkiv which follows different routes
(btw, mk.pdf takes some 55 seconds for a 300+ page document and that's 10 seconds for page faulting so on another machine it runs faster; and mk uses a lot of large fonts + some demanding typesetting like arabic)
1 min for 100 pages is very slow, I have a japanese/german book which takes about 1 min for 600 pages, the slowest part is a very huge natural table (over 700 cells) where ConTeXt needs about 1 second. Wolfgang
