This sort of timing data is very useful, but it will probably take
some time to digest.
I am not surprised that LaTeX2e takes longer. It is a more complicated
animal. What might really be interesting is to run a latex209
run with TeX3.1415, since you clearly have a document that requires few
changes. By the way, you did change from \documentstyle to
\documentclass in the test run with LaTeX2e, didn't you? Otherwise
you are thrown into 209 compatibility mode, which is definitely
slow.
I added the extra measure to the list below:
TeX, Version 3.1415 (C version 6.1) LaTeX2e <1994/12/01> patch level 1
latex2e paper2 5.28 sec (best out of 10, w/ ls-R)
TeX, C Version 3.14t3 LaTeX Version 2.09 <25 March 1992>
latex paper 2.37 sec (best out of 10)
TeX, Version 3.1415 (C version 6.1) LaTeX Version 2.09 <25 March 1992>
latex209 paper 2.50 sec (best out of 10, w/ ls-R)
Note that the timings for latex above and latex2e were redone since
the previous message (and are slightly lower).
This really seems to show that LaTeX2e is slower. Of course,
paper2.tex contains \documentclass, thus latex2e is not run in
compatibility mode.
