Okay, that's a good thing!  When you set this option, the typesetting
part is skipped, so your PDF won't contain any music.

I should have asked a better question:

When you compile your score with skipTypesetting = ##t, are there any
noticeable compile time differences with 2.10.33 versus 2.12.1?

This setting isn't meant to make LilyPond faster, it's meant to aid in
debugging the compile process.
