min-systems-per-page

Hi,

I have a book of about 14 piano inventions I found that I wrote as a
young composer 23 years ago.  Ah, the memories of youth!  I have about
nine of them in lilypond code, inside a  \book{}.  It compiles to pdf
very slowly when I use min-systems-per-page = 5 and compiles very
quickly if I do not use min-systems-per-page.

Is there a reason for this?
