The pdf seems to be correct but it takes long to be generated .
Any idea of the problem ?
it looks like you have some oscillation going on; one way to find out is 

texexec --pdf yourfile
copy yourfile.tuo yourfile-old.tuo 
texexec --pdf yourfile --once 
texutil --ref yourfile 

diff yourfile-old.tuo yourfile.tuo 

it should show differences 

oscillation can take place when decisions are made based on previous runs (but only in tricky situations where the multi pass info gets loose from the target); it's one reason why there will never be real automated  high quality typesetting -)
