On a 2007 MacBook Pro, groff would produce a 900-page manual with a few
graphics in 2-3 minutes. That was two groff runs to get cross-refs right,
including index generation, followed by a ps2pdf run. More or larger graphics
affect the generation time more than the page count.
So any non-netbook, five years old or less, will perform pretty well with
groff. Unless you’re Deri James and doing batch runs of half a million pages.
