For relatively straight-forward requirements, Jade is astoundingly fast -- I can format a 150-page book on my 75MHZ Pentium notebook (16MB RAM) in under ten seconds, using either Linux or Win95 -- but advanced or unusual requirements could slow that down a bit. The biggest problem for you will probably be memory. Jade constructs its entire grove in memory, and if your document is too large you will end up thrashing around in swap for a while. I wouldn't be too hard to write a disk-based groves implementation, but it would run a little more slowly.
