lualatex -- 1 second
xelatex -- 1.2 seconds
pdflatex -- 0.43 seconds
So I totally retract my concern about lualatex being slower than
xelatex. In fact it's about the same or faster
in this benchmark. That said, pdflatex is noticeably faster than either.
That gives another reason to choose

Hi,
I just did some new benchmarks comparing lualatex to xelatex on some
basic formulas like what I think is likely
to be relevant. This just involved running laulatex and xelatex many
times on the same tex file full of equations
and looking at the time. I used a ramdisk to avoid disk speed

Hi,
Last time I benchmarked things, luatex was sometimes the slowest of
the three major latex compilers, sometimes by a factor of 2.
I realize benchmarking could be impacted by things like how exactly
Lua was built on the target platform, as part of latex. In any case,

Hi Doris,
It just has been turned to use lualatex

Hi all,
why xelatex and not lualatex?

Hi,
The PR
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/36861
aims at switching from pdflatex to xelatex the latex engine to render
objects in pdf using the command like "view(objects)" as well as in
building the sage documentation.
As xelatex natively supports Unicode, we removed lots of commands
