Beacuse I typeset in Japanese, I don't use LaTeX and now want to know which compiles faster: XeLaTeX or LuaTeX? Is Lua language allows to make the compile faster?

7Related: Why does XeLaTeX execute much much slower than latex-dvips-ps2pdf?, Why does it take LuaLaTeX so long to load fonts and can I speed it up? – Werner Sep 19 '14 at 7:14

1Please ask questions that are to the point. The two first paragraphs of your post are not very relevant to your actual question. – Sverre Sep 19 '14 at 18:16

It's okay if I just delete the two first paragraphs? – Gurebu Bokofu Sep 20 '14 at 0:48

If the answer from topskip is still valid, the answer seems to be that LuaTeX may be many times slower - unless, perhaps, you use few and simple fonts with few features. @Werner: do you know if that answer is still current? – cfr Sep 21 '14 at 2:06

1@cfr: I rarely use either XeLaTeX or Lua(La)TeX, sorry. – Werner Sep 21 '14 at 6:51
