Yes, just that ! 

This morning I have changed machine and file, and here are the results:

On a MacMini with 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB RAM, and a standard 2009 MacTeX installation. 

A 16-page paper with very simple text and formulas using Computer Modern and no strange packages nor graphics:

Without microtype:
real	0m3.649s
user	0m1.622s
sys	0m0.072s

With microtype:
real	2m48.568s
user	2m47.323s
sys	0m0.175s

Again, a very large increase factor! The preamble of the document is:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\usepackage{amssymb,latexsym}                         
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
\usepackage{bm}                 
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{url}

I will e-mail the files privately to Robert. 

Thanks for your interest to all.
