Back-of-the-envelope numbers based on the trials summarized in [Performance testing?](https://discourse.citationstyles.org/t/performance-testing/1527/10) suggest about three to five minutes to generate a full set of samples from arbitrary input. There is some overhead to instantiate the processor for each style. In the test rig:

| Cell | 83ms |
| Chicago Fullnote | 133ms |
| APA | 257ms |

  
Taking 90ms as an optimistic average build time, and 15ms as rendering time for three additional cites (citeproc-ruby clocks at about 20ms, this is again on the optimistic side for citeproc-js) yields 4.4 minutes as a low-end estimate:

`
bash> echo 4k 1964 d 0.090* r 0.015 3**+ 60/p|dc
4.4190
