I took that file and compiled it with 2.19.83 and LilyPond-2.21.0/guile-3
Although, I didn't apply convert-ly, which may be a problem or not.

The results:

2.19.83

1. run

real    3m38,352s
user    3m24,493s
sys    0m4,659s

2. run

real    3m33,635s
user    3m23,291s
sys    0m4,563s


2.21.0 with guile-3

1.run

real    9m41,223s
user    11m36,337s
sys    0m3,600s

2. run

real    9m25,902s
user    11m20,798s
sys    0m3,743s

Cheers,
