Hi Nicolas,

Normally, XeTeX does not take that long to start up or run!

It would seem to me that your system and web-server is set-up
wrong. There are other possibilities for the problems you are experiencing.

Either way, I believe you problem has nothing to do with XeTeX.

Sorry.

regards
	Keith.
