Thanks for testing! The performance advantage probably comes from Guile 3.0 in our binaries of 2.25.14 versus Guile 2.2 with the MacPorts version, having a faster startup time which matters especially for smaller files. If you have some time, I would be really interested in seeing a comparison with LilyPond 2.25.14 from https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/packages/23923980 when the x86_64 executable is run through Rosetta on Apple Silicon...
