Time taken for tabulararry compilation in Lualatex -- Can it be reduced or is this expected ?

[hvram1]

I have a document with about 641 tables ( 641 pages and each page has a table ). The structure of the page is the same . This page takes about 75 minutes to produce a pdf file
The command used was

lualatex Tamil_Tamil_Unicode.tex 2>&1 | tee mylog-tamil.log`

Is this time expected or is there a way this can be reduced ? I am using a Mac M1 machine . and the tex version is

This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.16.0 (TeX Live 2023)

Please use latest TeXLive 2025 and tabularray 2025A. It will be much faster.

Thank you for the tip . It took me a couple of hours to get the Tex Live 2025 setup but it was worth it. What took 45 minutes now takes 3 minutes with no change in code. Thanks again
