These two were done in sequence, one after the other, just after  
restarting:

     agrenoble-152-1-54-246:~/Desktop brunovoisin$ time xetex  
ArabJustify.tex
     This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.94 (Web2C 7.5.3)
     entering extended mode
     (./ArabJustify.tex [1] )
     Output written on ArabJustify.pdf (1 page).
     Transcript written on ArabJustify.log.

     real    0m10.622s
     user    0m0.779s
     sys     0m0.601s
     agrenoble-152-1-54-246:~/Desktop brunovoisin$ time xetex  
ArabJustify.tex
     This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.94 (Web2C 7.5.3)
     entering extended mode

     real    0m1.508s
     user    0m0.754s
     sys     0m0.410s

And then:

     agrenoble-152-1-54-246:~/Desktop brunovoisin$ time xetex --no- 
pdf ArabJustify.tex
     This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.94 (Web2C 7.5.3)
     entering extended mode
     (./ArabJustify.tex [1] )
     Output written on ArabJustify.xdv (1 page, 948 bytes).
     Transcript written on ArabJustify.log.

     real    0m1.024s
     user    0m0.393s
     sys     0m0.362s
     agrenoble-152-1-54-246:~/Desktop brunovoisin$ time xdv2pdf  
ArabJustify.xdv

     real    0m0.534s
     user    0m0.360s
     sys     0m0.053s

All on a 1 GHz PowerBook G4.

Difficult to see any logical pattern here.
