I noticed that my new book, which is much shorter than most, took about
triple the time, like about 20 seconds on a very fast machine, to
compile that books with LaTeX, XeTeX, and PDFTeX took. Because I
personalize every book, I need to recompile for every order, so I might
research using PDFTeX. Thanks for the tip.
