However, running one test of 34,500 pages took 10 hours(!) to compile with XeLaTeX. This was on a 3GHz/4Gb Windows 7 Pro machine, using the XeTeX from MiKTeX 2.9. I expected this job to complete in a matter of minutes, but it basically took 100 times longer than I anticipated.
Even this : \loop \ifnum \count 0 < 34001 \topglue 0 pt \eject \repeat \end takes 1 minute on my 3.6GHz P4, so "a matter of minutes" might be a little on the optimistic side (although ten hours does seem a tad excessive ...).
